Came home from Country House earlier this afternoon to find we are without power at the City House. It went out around 9:00p last night. We live in an obscure area of town and not many houses on our road, so we are usually some of the last to get power back. But, 19 hours is a bit much. No JEA trucks anywhere near here.
Lots of limbs down on the ride though town but thankfully none down at our house. Got a messy yard though.
Husband fired up the generator. We shut the main power off to the house and then plug the generator in to a separate panel that powers the water pump, refridgerators and a few outlets. So, we have running water, lights from lamps and our food is safe. We also have TV but the cable is out. We have a gas cooktop so if we decide to cook, we're ok there as well.
Oh well, I have lots to post about our weekend at the Country House but that will have to wait. I am typing this on my work pc under battery power and wireless card but it's pretty slow. Will get to those other posts during the week.

Glad to hear your only issue is power. Glad you're safe. I hope power comes back soon. Stay safe.
Thank you Izzy. Heating up leftovers, on the gas stovetop, along w/salad. Looks like neighbors about 3 miles away just got power. Maybe ours will come back soon.

Glad all is, mostly I guess, well. Be careful and be safe!
Thanks kymber. I'm writing my posts now. Hope to get at least 1 posted tonight.
1st Man ... Power was out over 30 hours. Things could have been worse. At least we have a generator!
