If we can make it 15 days without power after hurricane Fran, with a six-month-old infant, no generator and a Coleman stove, I think you’ll be fine.…

8 weeks in south Florida with no eletcricity after Jeannee and Francis hurricanes,no gas or food for quite a while also, Its doable and lets you know what you would need for the coming times,it will teach you some very valueble lessons.Good luck hope it comes on soon.

I think we were out for about a week once after a big ice storm. I think I would rather be out of electric in the winter than in summer though.

Living in very rural area like I do, it can take awhile after a major storm, either it be wintah of summah. I kind of like it and really does make me appreciate the finer thing in life when the lights come on.

Hang in there and just pretend you are a mountain man.

I just spent every day out in the boat. Was home mowing the grass when I noticed the neighbors just got home with a new generator, hooked it up and no joke, the power came on half an hour later.

Yea but when you have livestock, 4 daughters and a wife, they never you forget! Atleast the little storm that came through yesterday pushed the heat and humidity out for a while. It'll be a good week for square bailing hay.
