Yep...just look what it’s (ice load) done to all of these huge Live Oak branches, in Texas.

A whole house generator is your best friend!

During Ike, we had a portable generator running.....for what seemed like....forever.

We purchased a whole house generator not long after.

Since the china virus supply chain issues, they’re almost impossible to find. I imaging this storm will only make that worse.

When one looks back and realizes that they HAD, in fact, survived the TERRIBLE weather thing that was SO bad the last time, the urge to take out insurance against the NEXT time lessens.

So, history repeats itself.

Which helps very little.

Yes we’re putting one in the new house on our rural property. Up in that area everyone has one and a woodstove.
