RJ,, It's pouring down rain, You have limited battery and it's hot and humid (Rain = 100% humidity) you are basically MELTING and you need that air conditioner to make things livable.. What you gonna do?
you gonna turn off the breaker so the line is "Cold",, plug in, and then turn on the breaker so the A/C will cool you off that's what.
You do not handle HOT wires or HOT plug in the rain, but cold, it's safe.
