Two weeks ago there was a nasty storm out here and our power was out for 4 days. That was fun. We got a small generator and did our best to save all the food in the fridge and freezer. We saved most of it, which was really good. We were also lucky to have a gas fireplace and a gas water heater. So we slept in the living room by the fire and had hot showers, because those were working fine. We now want to talk the owner of the house into replacing the electric stove with a gas one. It would be nice to be able to cook too even if the power goes out.
They say this storm was so bad because in Nov. we had record rainfall, and the ground was so soggy that when this nasty windstorm showed up that it was able to pull up more trees then normally would have been true because the ground wasn't able to hold onto them. The worst damage here at our house was 1. that some water got into the garage and soaked some boxes and such. 2. The gate in the fence on the side of the garage got ripped off it's hinges.
