We have animals in our home and it is approximately 95degrees in our home. The power has been out for quite a while. I understand these things happen but our concern that it will continue to get hotter. I am on disability so I cannot just pick my animals and move them to safety. This needs to be fixed as it has happened several times within the last couple of weeks.
