I might be off for a while, Rita is headed our way. I have inverters to run the computer/router/modem and generator to run the fridge/freezer etc. I figure though that if we lose power we will probably lose cable and hi speed internet also. Not to mention land line phone capabilities also. This might get interesting, but I hope it doesn't.
It got interesting for a little while, we did have one smaller tree blow over in the front yard, the power blinked a few times and we lost cable for an hour or so, but that was pretty much it. It was kind of anti-clamatic. I guess that is good. We did take advantage and stock up some more though.
