The winds and heavy downpours have finally slowed down. We have electrical power at the house, but then again, we have a whole-house backup generator. Now to find my trash can since it was garbage day and the winds blew everyone's cans all over the place.
They always said getting old isn't for Sissies, that is an understatement, lol.
definitely an understatement
Gosh, we didn't get anything where I am at. So sorry you folks had such bad weather.
we needed the rain...just not that rapidly at one time
It just came back on a few mins ago
We have a generator too but not a whole house one. Hope you find your trash cans soon! My sunflowers are all bent over, I really hope they stand back up
Yeah, it was a major investment that we were determined to make based on previous experiences at our previous house. The electricity went out 5 times, and 5 times our basement flooded with over 2 feet of water. So, if anything, it gives us peace of mind during these storms.
We have a battery backup sump pump and it kicked on quite a lot today. On Saturday morning, we lost power too. We thought it was the weather again but a semi had knocked down power lines. The battery sump pump did not kick on and that's when we had to rush around and get the generator going. The battery had died in the backup sump pump. Very glad we had the generator to keep our basement dry. Hubby went out later that day to get a new battery for the sump pump
We tried to avoid having a sump pump in our basement, when we recently built our new home, but it was a requirement for the foundation perimeter pipes. I hate them, but what can you do?
