How are citizens affected by the past week's storms coping with steamy temperatures and widespread power outages? Well, apparently some are having no problem entertaining themselves:

It's really amazing, isn't it? Some parents can't even get their kids to play outside when their video games are seemingly rendered inoperable.
On a lighter note, natural disasters have an odd way of bringing out some peoples' senses of humor:
