And you believe that the nature has no bad weather?

In last days off in our Rostov region the sleet expected to fall. Consequences of this event were catastrophic: trees and branches crusted ice 4 cm thick therefore began to fall, pulling down all around. Most of all power lines were damaged. Even columns of the power line got in some places:

If on the central streets power supply was restored in krachchayshy terms, then in the private sector the situation was not very well. On our lane of light there were no 4 days, and in the neighboring town of Novoshakhtinsk - more than 6 days. If to consider that at many heating was connected with electricity, then people lived in not heated rooms at a temperature of 8 degrees and below.
Refrigerators did not work, and on the street sharply became warmer. Dogs and cats were happy!

In the first night at us all paraffin candles which always are in a stock just in case sharply burned down. Just darkens early in the winter.

The husband joyfully reported that in a garage on the top shelf there is a brand new oil lamp and there is a large bottle with kerosene. AT I bore this lamp, filled in kerosene, lit, and here I understood that it should be extinguished urgently! A stench from it intolerable! And I in the childhood in Transbaikalia quite often did homework near an oil lamp when there were accidents on the line. Then, it seems, everything was normal, and now - it is impossible to suffer! Here it, the beauty, went to a garage again:

Then small lamps from Price's Fix were put to use:

It would be possible to buy candles, but they disappeared from sale at once as soon as there was no electricity in houses!

For the 4th day, on February 15, in the evening matches suddenly ended. They were many korobk, but 4 days are - long term! Was already late, it is inconvenient to call neighbors. After tiresome search with a lamp I found 1 boxes, apparently, even rare matches:

All this time we called by telephone 112 that there is no light. At last on February 15 at 22:30 light appeared!

I already bought matches in a large number. There are no candles on sale yet. Batteries for small lamps purchased too! Something I do not believe that the nature has no bad weather! Is, it precisely!.

20 trees fell in Rostov, and at us nobody considered them. Many trees stand with the fallen-off branches. These branches killed birds who lie in the same place. It is surprising why they are not eaten by cats and dogs? Birds - big, rooks!

It is good that we have gas! But self-ignition - did not work, matches lit. There is a lighter for a copper, but I did not begin even to touch it. If blows into a copper, and winds at us mad, then we will freeze! The microwave, the refrigerator, the TV and the computer -
had a rest! To read books - it is dark, days - cloudy. And with a small lamp I read books in the 8th class last time. Sight any more not that!
Generally, darkness - the friend of youth, but not family people! I wish all good weather without unpleasant surprises!
