We're Having a Heat Wave, a Tropical Heat Wave

Have you seen the news on Phoenix lately? It sucks here. We are having "heat wave " in one of the already hottest places in America. 13 people have died this week from heat, and that is just here in Phoenix. Some temps are worse. Lake Havasu city has been in the 120's all week. Blah.... To make it worse we are getting these residual storms, monsoons, from the hurricane Emily, which have just been rip-roaring through the valley. The other night we were driving home from the inlaws and had to keep diverting our path because there were Palo Verde (green bark trees) and palm trees rooted up and fallen all over the place. When we got home we noticed our power was out, shingles missing from our roof, the back yard looked like some kids toilet papered our trees with orange plastic warning tape. The worse part about it was that is was still 116 outside. With out any electricity we have no airconditioning....
We went to a friends house for a few hours and came back, but the power was still out. We ended up sleeping in wet t-shirts. It actually wasn't that bad. The t-shirts really didn't even feel wet. If we ever got hot we just fanned our shirts a little bit and it work just like and evaporative cooler. I think the electricity came on around 2am. Making it a grand total of 10hours being off. Apparently we were lucky 400 people didn't have power for 48 hours.
Unfortunately I have to go grocery shopping to restock the refrigerator since every thing went bad. At least I needed to go prior to thise anyway.
