we don't know if it will hit us, if it will be a hurricane or just rain. The meteorological service is less accurate than Grandma's bunions.
If it hits electricity will go down for weeks... like last year... I was off line for...

I posted about my oven off an hour, but not anymore, as the power was out today. The power company set it to the correct time. Now I hope the power stays on, as my battery went down a lot running the refrigerator and freezer....

There was a tornado that went through, not our city, but the countryside just to the West of us... It took out power mains in the countryside leading to our city, some telephone poles and repeaters for the internet.
So, while we...

Thanks to our solar pannals we're able to run the fans and watch t.v. But, I can't use the stove, washer or dryer. My laptop also has power and most of the plugs in our house, so I have wi-fi. Only 31 people impacted at...

This evening the house has been experiencing random power surges where one room will loose power for a few seconds or one or two things. I just randomly lost the internet for a few minutes. We lost the t.v. twice, but not the...

Well, my house is running totally on solar. I can't get into my washing machine because my house isn't producing enough power to power it. That's because its overcast and cloudy. When it's running it's normal 4 to five killiwats,...

Good morning.
To be transparent, we do have solar pannals, and they do provide power to our home. Even in the event of a grid failure. Now, I had forgotten that last week I'd set up an appoitment to have a part fixed on our solar...

What do you do when a power line goes down and your building has no power, only emergency lights, and no internet?
You have an hour long recess, of course, while the police block the road and the emergency repairs are made.
This...

We had quite the thunderstorm this morning, but it cleared off in time for us to go to the pool which is across the street from the school. I believe we got between one and two inches of rain.
I guess at home, in Florence, we had...

Back in 2008, when Hurricane Ike’s remnants came through, I was without electricity for a week. Less than six months later, we had an ice storm. Between the two, it was estimated that 90-95% of Louisville lost power at one...

Still without power. Should have it back today, hopefully. I've secured a room for the next two days just in case. But, I will take what I can get. We've stayed in this hotel before. And, I'm thankful to have power and Wi-fi. I...

Today is Monday here in the Philippines.
A gloomy 7:21am Monday.
How's your Sunday night.
I don't know what happened that I slept as early as 7:30am and woke up at around 9:30am. I feel the heat because the AC was off. The lights...
