We had lost power Friday about 1:00 or around there. It came back on about 4:00. Then at 5:30 that storm rolled through. We lost power again. They were saying Thursday, not sure what the situation is after that storm came through and took more folks back out. I had a small generator that I was running our refrigerators in the house on. Borrowed one Saturday and got on a waiting list at TSC. Bought it Sunday and passed the borrowed one on to other family members that were without power.
Using the new generator to keep the fridges in the house going and using the small one on the camper since it has an RV plug on it. This is allowing us to "live" in the camper. We have hot water, fridge, and most importantly AIR CONDITIONING. Burning through quite a bit of gasoline though. Running the little generator 24 hours, running the bigger one off and on to keep the fridges cold. Turning it off at night.
I do want to give a great big thumbs up to Tractor Supply. They were selling these generators:
http://www.tractorsupply.com/generac-reg-5500-watts-portable-generator-1007921 that they normal sell for $699 for $641.99 including tax. So they marked them down $100 instead of up by $100. Good to see a company doing the right thing. Somehow they managed to get 72 of them shipped to the store Saturday night at Midnight. Sunday they had their entire crew there working to go down their list of folks calling people from their personal cell phones. I thought that was pretty cool. Again, awesome job Tractor Supply
