During the wide spread power outage due to a ice storm several years ago some folks somehow manged to still have electricity early on but wound up getting theirs shut off by the power companies when they started to work on restoring it for everyone.
You're actually right about that. No big deal, though. I've been lucky so far. Got my generator sitting in the house ready to go outside and be fired up if needed. Moved it inside in case I lost the garage. Everything's dialed in.
You live here long enough, you learn.. and know the drill. 49 years. Yeah. I know the drill.
Best Wishes and thoughts and prayers to my brothers up north of me now.
