Things I learned with no power for 40 hours

[Peaches]

Thanks, Kathi! I'll put you on "the list" I was actually going to head to Wig's for a shower if I hadn't found out the water stayed hot for so long. I figure 3 days would be my limit for no power before I pack up the animals and head for shelter

I was VERY lucky in that with all the trees I have, none fell on the house. A rather large one went down on the property as well as MANY smaller ones and branches but they can all be left there. And even though there were a lot on the roads, we have an EXCELLENT maintenance staff that got them moved immediately. That was Wig's main concern when he called me: Can you get out? Now, if one had landed on MY street, it probably would have been worse - sometimes they forget anyone lives down here.

The people I bought the house from said 6 days was the longest they had gone w/o power during an ice storm and they went to Atlanta after 3 days. I think that's a good limit for everyone
