NotSoObvious Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 We were in the derecho here in Va a few weeks ago and lost power for four days. We are on a well, so the water stopped as well. We are on a waiting list for a generator from Costco (a big one, with a coupon) but we don't have it yet. A big storm just started and my husband is out of town until Friday. AND I have a sick kid! Pleeeaaaasssee don't let the power go out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwarsmomma Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Fill the tub with water, including large pots pans, bowls... fill whatever you can in advance. even if you don't need this water to drink, you can use it to cook, to flush toilets, to use for hygiene.... charge up your phones, ipad/kindle/whatever you can. make sure you have plenty of bottled water to drink, easy non-refrigerated foods that you can eat.
