You ask a child and children will tell you they miss going on the internet, watching youtube videos. Older people, seniors complaining about the cold mornings, cold evenings. They really miss their heaters. For families on a tight budget, this is costing them money. They have to drive further to fill up tanks. Theyre eating out. This is affecting families on a tight budget. Weve seen lots of families coming here to power up electronics and medical devices that they need to breathe. Weve been getting a lot of questions, too, about how long food says safe is in the fridge or freezer during a power outage. So we put together this video explain issi explaining how long to keep it and when to throw it out. A frightening night, and it had nothing to do with halloween.

Reporter she set to work rebuilding it almost exactly the way it was, save a few meaningful touches, like the redwood from the deck coming from a tree from the property that didnt survive the fire. But the best touch of all, beth thought, would to be have these women from minnesota back as the rebuilt homes very first guests. For free, of course. Its got a sophisticated finish for chardonnay. Reporter allowing them to put a happy ending on a vacation that was so frightfully interrupted. This means the world. That night was tragic. The weeks to follow were horrible. We survived something thats unspeakable. So them coming back and the joy in their faces and being able to share the rebuild of this house is just so meaningful. Reporter and meaningful, not just to beth but to the whole region, getting the word out that there are people here with open hearts who are once again open for business. And, it turns out in this story, the hospitality is going both ways. You see, the seven women have invited beth and her husband to come to the midwest and stay for free at a cabin one of the women owns in a lake in wisconsin. Garvin thomas, nbc bay area news.
