Glad to hear that you, your daughter and your dogs are OK, Denise. Hopefully you will have power soon, but like Rich said, it may be wise to find a safe place to stay for a little while. Depending on how large an area was affected you may be without electric for a day or more.


We experience storms in the winter and several years ago I installed a generator similar to what Rich suggested. It has paid for itself several times over. In addition to winter outages, it has been called into service a few times in the summer for the A/C. It needs to be large enough and installed properly, but once that is done it should serve you for years with a little annual maintenance.


Your family is in my family's prayers.
