Just a word of advice from someone who went through 5 days without electricity a few years back.

Draw some water. Fill the bathtub with water. It will come in handy if your electricity goes out.

5kw generator has been checked, extra cases of water purchased at Wal-Mart last night - making a triple batch of Chili for supper. Woodpile is covered and the fire place ready to go.

Added bonus - our greater neighborhood is near a main line and our subdivision utilities are underground. Most we’ve been out of power was around 18 hours.

We also have backpacking stoves that we’ve used for cooking.

And when all else fails - we’ll fire up the Weber in the backyard and grill some burgers.
