Lower Mainland blackout warning tonight
Just heard on the radio that we have another wind storm on the way
Hope everyone is prepared ! I bought a second battery backup for my MP10s so the 2 can run for a very long time now And I'm in the middle of hooking up a circuit to automatically turn on and regulate my gas fireplace |

I'm not sure my house will be around much longer, so probably won't need power anyway. I think the back just got blown off..

naaaahh. Although I should have bought a new power supply for my mp40. Oh well, positive thoughts right

I was going to buy one this weekend, but the Apex took all my money. If my power goes out, I'm going to a restaurant that has power. The tank can manage itself.

we never have super long power outages anyways, max 4-5 hours here. Course I just jinxed myself. Oh well, at least its a weekend and I don't have to call in "sick" to work

Our power was out last Sunday from 8:30pm to 3:00am Couldn't fall asleep; what to do if it's still out when I leave for work, what do I buy on the way home, what instructions do I leave for my 'thankfully she's home from work this Monday' wife .... Needless to say but I only had about 3hrs sleep The outage @ the end of Summer we were out for about 3hrs, but many others in my area were without power for days, and we've all heard about the losses that time around Now if I can figure out a way to have my battery backup airpump only run for 5 mins/hr I'd be set. Guess I'll have to look into how to build a 12v timer |

Got my portable gen, UPS and other backup systems ready. Been keeping them ready for the last month plus cause of all the wind storms. My brother lost power for 3 days earlier. Our lines are underground so hopefully that is enough. I have friends who've lost power pretty much every wind storm this year.
