00:00:06.592 - 00:00:11.498 |
[Thunder] |
00:00:13.467 - 00:00:15.035 |
WOMAN: I get a text from my
husband when I'm at work saying, |
00:00:27.593 - 00:00:30.630 |
"PGE is here to shut us off." |
00:00:30.664 - 00:00:32.732 |
MAN: And they come to my door. |
00:00:32.766 - 00:00:34.299 |
He says, "I'm with PGE,
and I need $557 right now, |
00:00:34.334 - 00:00:38.845 |
otherwise I'm going to shut off
your electricity." |
00:00:38.879 - 00:00:41.048 |
I was like,
"I don't have $557." |
00:00:41.082 - 00:00:44.255 |
WOMAN: I came home. |
00:00:47.060 - 00:00:49.395 |
No lights, no nothing, |
00:00:49.430 - 00:00:51.365 |
and then explaining to the kids
when they got home |
00:00:51.399 - 00:00:54.134 |
that we had no electricity... |
00:00:54.168 - 00:00:56.637 |
That was hard. |
00:00:56.671 - 00:00:59.342 |
BOY: With the no lights, |
00:01:02.847 - 00:01:05.315 |
it was hard to get
around the house. |
00:01:05.349 - 00:01:07.817 |
And since there was
no electricity, |
00:01:07.851 - 00:01:09.618 |
we couldn't cook our food. |
00:01:09.652 - 00:01:11.687 |
GIRL: It was so cold |
00:01:14.626 - 00:01:16.694 |
that me and my baby brother
had to curl up on the couch |
00:01:16.729 - 00:01:19.598 |
together, and we had,
like, 4 comforters on us. |
00:01:19.632 - 00:01:23.069 |
It was really scary. |
00:01:23.103 - 00:01:26.006 |
