Power outage seems certain for me.

I'll be lucky if I have power later today and tomorrow.
Tree limbs are crashing down because they are loaded with ice.
And it's just starting.
Amazing, the guy across the street in already cleaning his yard.
He cleans his yard everyday; but You'd......

..... Bam! My power just went down for 1 second.

Chrome restore pages work good because the post I was typing was saved and came right
up.



I think this is going to be a rough 2-3 days.

I need to start stocking off-grid supplies; because every month there is some new disaster.

We always keep extra food and water on hand.

I was here in California for the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. I was about forty miles from San Francisco but it was strong enough to knock everything off of the walls and shelves. There was a lot of power lines down locally, that kind of stuff. The big problem was no power for three days. Everything in your fridge goes bad in 24 hours, and you can't cook with an electric stove. Can't eat out, can't go to the store, can't even leave town because of the downed power lines and frankly you don't know who has power and where. Oh, no phone either. It was kind of scary because the only news we could get was over car radios, and they were talking about the Bay Bridge collapsing and cars falling into bay and entire freeways collapsing....

Since then I've always been prepared. We keep a lot of canned goods on hand, soups, top ramen, beans, that kind of stuff, and also huge jugs of water. We also have sterno and propane on hand.

Don't laugh. It will happen to you eventually and you'll never see it coming. Here where I live we had a "propane train fire". Turns out our town has a "propane farm" where they store large amounts of propane. It's delivered by train; They drop off a railraod car full of propane and hook it up to the this network where it's stored. Somehow the single railroad car caught fire. If a railroad car full of propane explodes it will take out an entire town. They had to evacuate nearly half the town....

Being as I live in California we also have to be ready for fires. Under the dressers in our closet we have these huge massive bags to fill up with clothes, a fire proof box with our important papers, grab our laptops, and then we have "go bags" in the garage with charging cables and stuff.

I'm ready.

We have some snow coming through today. I'm hoping that we don't lose power. I have way too much to get done today!

I already planned to have zero plans today.
That's how I prepare for disaster; I give up before it starts.

Sounds like a relaxing plan

After the Snowpacalypse of 2022 I picked up one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Hopefully it won't be needed.

You do not even know where you live geographically, I'm positive you could not find your way home since you think i-80 travels North and South.

Your post is such bullshit. Everything in your fridge goes bad in 24 hours what the fuck are you putting in there?

A car battery or two trickle charging up on your mains as it is currently working and a cheap inverter would be a temporary way to get by.
