I've been driving around my area all day and i brought a ice-cold water bottle with me to keep hydrated. Friday was still pretty hot, and I was driving my sister and her friend to a pool in kettering and brought them back home before the storm hit us last night. We were really lucky last night before the storm hit us so i can bring my sister and her friend home!

Actually, it had to do with a blocking high pressure system that causes these widespread heat waves. It is a common occurrence in the United States.

I live in Columbus, OH and we got hit badly too. I was -driving- at the time it first hit -eyeroll-... trees were breaking all around me. It was insane. Cars were swaying back and forth. I got home and looked like I had taken a full blown shower by the time I got inside. Trees all over the neighborhood were knocked down. Power was out for three days. Some people had no power for almost two weeks.. some still don't.

It was bad timing for us this week! we had temperatures that went up to the 90s and this past thursday we had a temperature of a 102 degrees! So last night the house was hot and I couldn't sleep very well and was praying for the electricity to come back on so we can have air conditioning. The storm happened around 4:30-5:00pm yesterday, and the power went out 10 minutes before 5. The street lights were out and most of our neighborhood power was out as well. One of my friends reported that their tree broke in half and went on somebody's car

I hope some people out there are okay! my mom had to be stuck at work because of the storm and my dad had been texting my mom and calling her to give her updates. The storm ended around 5:30ish. So after the power went out, we went looking for battery-operated lights, and my dad went to find food since we can't open the refrigerator due to the storm. My mom, unfortunately was stuck in traffic, she witnessed a couple of car accidents, people should know to be careful while driving, especially after the storm. My mom didn't get home until maybe about 7 in the evening.

I've been using my macbook as a phone charger since the mac has about 4-5 hours of power. I have a second laptop too, which lasts about 3 hours so i'm charging my 2nd laptop right now just in case the power goes out again! I'm keeping my macbook plugged in just in case anything happens. Because one of my friends said that they got their power back, and then lost it again this early afternoon. *facepalms* I'm hoping we don't lose our power, but if we do, i'll be glad that I charged in my laptops! We still have broken tree branches on the roads and other debris. I hope everybody here in dayton is okay!!

did any of you guys had the wind storm or a tropical storm?

I don't live in Ohio, but storms of any kind can be scary. I live in Texas and periodically in the winter, there can be ice storms! Did you know there are portable chargers? For example, if you go to this website, you can order a powerful, yet small charger for your phone, iPad, and so on.

As for searching food, it is imperative that one has a good stock of nonperishable foods in an event of a storm!

Old cars doesn't have to be running to charge a phone, but the new ones do! For example, my old 1995 Saturn SL didn't have to be running when I charged my old pal - the Sidekick 3. However, with my new 2012 Hyundai Elantra, it HAS to be running in order to charge my phone.

"RAY: But what she didn't know was that she didn't have to run the engine. If she had simply plugged the adapter into the power point (formerly called the cigarette lighter) and then turned the key to the appropriate position (on some cars, the power point will work without the key in at all, and on other cars the key needs to be in one of the "on" positions), she could have charged her cell phone using only the car's battery.

TOM: No harm would have come to the battery. Charging a cell phone takes so little energy that it's virtually impossible to run down a healthy car battery by doing that. And the battery would have completely recharged itself the next time she used the car."

It might be a glitch with that car.

It also could be a problem with the connection.

New cars usually have more than one accessory port. Sometimes one is in the "on" mode, which will work all the time, without the engine running, and the other port is in the "off" mode except when the engine is running. There is usually at least one port that will be "on."

Are you saying you did have your key in the "on" position, without the motor running?
Another possibility is that the recharger is bad.
Think of it this way: If your cabin light, trunk light, etc. will come on when the engine is not running, then your power point should work.
