And DEVASTATED THE NATION'S CAPITAL CITY -- D.C. & METRO AREA...
Who knew that could happen....
This storm got its “wind up” just west of my house. 1 mile north of us and 1 mile south of us folks were without power for almost a week smack in the middle of a 100 + degree heat wave.
We were fortunate and didn’t lose power at all, but Mrs. L and I both have co-workers who suffered though it. My next purchases are a tri-fuel kit for my 6kw gen set, and a nice little Rubbermaid shed to put it in. I’m going to hook the gen set to the house NG line, insulate the crap out of that little shed to keep the noise down, and we will be good to go indefinitely as long as the NG grid holds up.
I’ve lived in the Midwest my entire life and this storm was as bad as anything I’ve ever seen. I WILL be ready for the next one.
Period.
Best wishes for you and yours, Matt.
