We lost power. Power is out all over town due to a day of high winds so I’m guessing it will be quite some time before we’re back up. I’m thankful to have a generator, but it still is unnerving. It puts me into protector of the house mode. I’ll probably be up all night because I don’t like having the generator on while I’m sleeping and it’s a bit too cold to shut it off for the night.
Then, things weren’t going too bad and we lost internet. They probably finally lost power at the source (cable company). I’m using my phone’s hot spot now. I guess we’ll see how the OTA antenna is working when the news comes on.
DD is out too and we’re not sure if they’re going to abandon their house and come here. They only have a small generator and it won’t run the furnace unless I go over there and rig something up, which I don’t want to do at night. Then with the grandkids at virtual school, I’m guessing even that’s going to be canceled tomorrow. Who said there won’t be snow days in virtual school. They’ll just be called blackout days - when too many are out of power to run class.
Oh well, hoping for the best and a quick fix tomorrow when the wind dies down. Wish me luck!
