One pro about being in a hot place is that you don't have to wait for the shower to heat up, its just hot straight awayOh wow, Sour, sorry to hear! BUT, glad your house is intact and nobody's hurt! Going to check into one of these whole-home surge protector thingies, thanks for the warning!
Fan! You're in Phoenix and all they gave you was a fan??? Why no AC? That's nuts, it gets over 110 for weeks at a time! Did you go visit my Sis-in-law, a certifiable lizard? She won't turn on the AC until it hits 100° in the house!
