The August 2020 derecho that tore up a lot of the US Midwest. I lost power for 4 days, there was extremely hot weather, and I had a menial labor job at that time. it was hell
It wasn't just the Midwest. I lived in West Virginia (in a city) and I had no power for seven days. And yeah holy shit it was 100 degrees every day and maximum humidity. 300 year old trees were scattered around like nothing.
