[QUOTE="Still Afloat, post: 520404, member: 32426"] When I first moved to Washington there was a huge ice and wind storm in the Pacific Northwest. Power was out in several states. Being in a rural area our house had no power for three weeks and intermittent power for another six weeks. I installed a 240V outlet at the panel, shut off the main breakers and back fed the house with a 6kW generator. It wasn’t ideal but we could run the fridge, a few lights and watch TV. Fortunately the furnace was propane. I had similar incidents at my remote log cabin in California. No power for two weeks. Funny that this topic came up. The power is out right now. I’m out for a bourbon and a sandwich. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
