Power outages today ... surprised there weren't any posts looking for help

[gregzz4]

My power at home was out today from before lunch until about 9pm.
The wind both at work and my wife told me at home was huge.
At work I was being pushed through doorways, and we had a roof torn off of a shed.

Where power is concerned for my tank I'm covered.
I have 2 x 18AH batteries for my MP10s and a battery charger keeps them topped up, a gas fireplace on a power-out relay that keeps the living room warm for the tank, and the tank's canopy keeps heat in.
I have battery powered air pumps that run on D cells. They kick in when power is out. If any of you would like to have the same they are Aquatop and about $17 @ J&L. They plug into an outlet and turn on automatically when the power goes out.

Tonight, after 8 hours without power, my tank was still 79 degrees. But my sump in another room dropped to 75 degrees.
I've just finished programming my RKE to keep the return pump off until the heaters get the sump water up to temp.
I don't like the idea of cold water entering the display.

I think I'm covered for the next outage ...

Good luck all
