We're in the woods and always seem to be the first to lose power whenever the winds blow.

Second if you include my neck of the woods and that is my fear as well. We not only lose electricity but when power goes so does our water. When electricity is restored it takes an eternity for our plumber to kick start the pump that provides water for 45 homes.

Winds are beginning to pick up and snow drifts are mounting. Stay safe.

We lose our water along with electricity also - we have well water. A plumber has to 'kick start a pump that provides water for 45 homes'...? I don't get it. Why is that? Fortunately for us, when power is restored here, so is our water.
