I'm in Clermont county. We had no power for almost 10 hours yesterday into this morning. It came on at 1:00 AM. Back off at 9:30 this morning.

I have a generator which certainly helps.

we had duke and badger trucks lining our street last night. got some juice around 10. i might have been the only one in the city who woulda liked another day in the dark. i listened to the reds/chisox game that went into extras. that 14 pitch at bat pagan shut down was, by candlelight, butt clenching. but i freakin missed the end of the game because the fckn batteries to the shower radio crapped out and by the time i found some doubles i'm into the post game. i actually was on the wrong dial and listening to an endless amount bygone commercials, but in perfectly clarity. i had been taking my time finishing up a portrait of a loon that i'm gonna hang in our sconsin cabin's outjohn and not having to worry about the internet really opened things up. wednesday night's game wasn't fun. i stayed up till midnight finishing my loon and listening to lance whine. he was making great points though, even if he was preaching to the choir. i wanted to listen to the 'gals preseason game and finish hanging some road maps on the wall but the fkn power came back on

we're considering one if only to not have to throw away food from the freezers. we've got gas so can still cook and have hot water. i can live without electricity, but i don't have a ditch full of salted venison like rath nor wish to visit the grocer any more than i already do. anything you'd recommend?

I just have one from tractor supply. It's enough to power the refrigerator and freezer, a fan, some lights.

I got tired of throwing food away.

I have two neighbors that have the generac system. One runs on propane and they can run everything in the house including the water heater. Biut hose are costly.

Generators are like insurance policies.

We used to lose power here for days at a time a coupe times a year so in 2023 I upgraded from a little 3000 watt Honda inverter generator for the RV to one that runs the house. Of course we have not lost power once since then. So I guess the generator works.

We have a Generac 2800 kWh whole house unit. Not a great investment but we love it when we are the only house with lights in the community.
