I went without electricity for 6 days & nights back at the end of Sept
2003 thanks to Hurricane Juan.
Those cold showers and meals cooked on the barbecue and coleman stove
got tiresome...... not to mention sitting around at night (1900 hrs
on) with just lanterns & candles.


And then there was that Ice Storm in eastern Canada back in 1998....

Yeah, a bunch of years ago we had a storm that took out our power in the
winter.. We had a brandy new baby in the house, no choice but to get a
generator. It's not a big one, but it will run the water stove, tv and
fridge for a while, then we would switch over to the furnace for a while
and cycle that all day.


Babies did not exist before generators? *You dont take the baby
camping?
Drudge has a headline "HELL in HOUSTON", no power or water. *I used to
live in Houston and it was hell WITH power and water. *This may be an
improvement.- Hide quoted text -

Uh, she was almost two months premature and had just been released
from the hospital with special needs that required power.. And yes,
babies do go camping, my oldest was camping at 6 weeks old, but that
birth had no complications.


For the record, she came through it fine, here is what she looks like
