Here are the latest: One panic attack after another
After several days without power in East Austin, Deborah Elliott, 69, felt more and more apprehensive as she watched the battery drain on her electric wheelchair. I was just laying in bed all day long, she said. I found myself skipping meals and just basically having one panic attack after another.
Elliott is unable to walk, and she knew she would not be able to do anything from getting to the bathroom to letting her dog out without her wheelchair. As one of many people in Austin without a car to charge her phone, she was hugely grateful for a power bank she d bought for her cellphone a year ago, not knowing that she d need it to power her phone for days.
