After the hurricane hit, the power was gone.
Not for hours—for nine days.

The gas generator was our lifeline. It kept the fridge cold and the fans moving in that heavy, sticky heat. But on night four, around 2 AM, it sputtered and died. Out of gas. Out of oil. Out of time.

It was pouring. Lightning cracked the sky. I was running on fumes after 15-hour workdays—mentally drained, physically spent.

But I threw on boots, grabbed a flashlight, and stumbled into the storm.

💥 Every instinct told me it was dangerous.

Gasoline. Water. Electricity. Lightning. A wrong move could mean electrocution.

I was terrified—but I had no choice.

I fumbled with the gas can, rain soaking everything. My hands were slick, my heart pounding as I pulled the starter cord again and again.

And then—finally—it roared back to life.

That hum in the dark? It sounded like hope. But it also sounded like a wake-up call.

That night taught me this:

🌀 True resilience starts before the storm.
