Power is out in NW Arkansas, on generator, wife on oxygen,her machine and air fan are now hooked to the generator.
First time I ever had to start it, other than testing, due to a power failure.
Lit all the oil lamps in the house. Cat scared puppy, OK and happy.
On battery powered laptop. More storms coming out way.
Good work. Hope you have several days’ of generator fuel or can get to a gas station easily.
During hurricane Irma our power was out for 5 days. Luckily as a boater I had plenty of 5 and 6-gal portable fuel tanks and there are two gas stations a mile away which never lost power.
I said a prayer for you, because I know how scary it is to deal with unstoppable weather and have a loved one on oxygen.
My dad needed it 24/7 and I signed him up with the electric company who were required to work on returning power to his home first (along with hospitals etc). And if needed, the town was required to take him and his equipment to a shelter.
Don’t know if this is available in your state, but it made us ‘kids’ feel a whole lot better. We could plan for a hurricane, a blizzard, but you can’t plan for tornados; they just happen.
