Please don't let the power go out!


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

:iagree:

 

- Do you have a small, coleman-type stove you could use outside to heat water?

 

- Do you have kerosene lamps and/or candles for light?

 

:grouphug: -- praying for you!!
