We went through that 2 weeks ago in KC. My power was out for almost 4 days. Not fun, but thank God the heat wasn’t as bad as it is this week. I did have to throw away hundreds of dollars of food.

That’s us right now. The storm hit very quickly and hard. Glad I have a generator. Supposedly we’re to get power back today.

We had power outage for nearly 2 weeks in dead of winter. (Thankfully we had wood heat, so we kept warm) What I learned? Never ever wash your hair in an iced over stream... insta headache and extreme pain! (No, I’m no polar swimmer lol)
