I was re-arranging my stock donw in my basement..and my son was in the middle of cleaning his 10 gallon aqaruim and boom no hydro, we have just got it back...kids and I played cards all day...

But what a test..I need to go get a coleman stove and stock up onlots of propane..hydro went down just before lunch.

Not even a second of panic, we had our candles,flashlights and back up plans all in place..

I do have 2 firepits and bbq...but I did not want to use those until I knew exactly how longpower was off for..

Well glad to be back..hi all....

yup no power...so if we used the hot water we ran out.....and we were not even sure if we should still flush and when the sun started going down it got cold in here...we closed all unecessary doors...

had plans for sleeping arrangements and how we would stay warm through the night...I lost a lot of pennies today..oh well i will hit the bank..and even McDomalds was closed could not even grab a burger for dinner

Hi. Respectfully, can you call the power company or maybe the press and ask 'em what's going on? That's what I do when my universe is disturbed and it works for me.

We have lost power quite a few times in past couple years, and at least a couple times a year our water is undrinkable for a week at a time.

I learned I need chafing pot fuel, bottled water and a good thermos. I can face almost ANYTHING if I have a constant supply of hot tea :-)
