We've been without power since 1145PM Thursday and it just came back on today (Saturday) around 5PM..thankfully my generator performed well and we had one nice warm room, a working fridge and happy fish with warm water in their tanks..also thanks to our battery back up sooper dooper whizbang very expensive basement water proofing system, the basement is dry as a bone...absolutely the best investment we ever made...we've had power outages where we've had up to 4-5 inches of water in the basement and a lot of ruined stuff.
We had heavy winds Thursday night...gusting up to 55 MPH and it looks like a tornado went through the area...I though we'd be out for several days. Thanks to the had working crews, we were not..and I made it a point of thanking those that I saw...there are still hundreds of thousands without power in the state (New Hampshire)
