For AC Members in the Blizzard 2/6/10

[Hollygirl]

I sure hope that all of you are okay. The east coast blizzard has left many without power.

I am sure other members here at AC wish you good luck as well.

Been watching the news. Yikes, that is a lot of snow!! I love snow, but I'm not sure I'd want quite that much at one time.

Hope ya'all are OK up there!

I was thinking about you msjinkzd when I saw on the news that over 300,000 residents in PA had no power. That's rough!

Glad you are okay :)

me too! We would be warm and able to cook because of the woodstove but this has brought home how much i need to consider a generator for all those tanks!

You really need to get one MsJ. The amount of time and money you have invested is more than worth it. That is one of the things we did when we started this renovation. He dedicated a main breaker to the fish tanks, put an outside outlet that is also on that breaker. When the power goes out, the generator is set up near that outlet. He turns the breaker off and back feeds through that outlet to all of the fish tanks. Our corn stove is set up in that area as well and can be hooked up to it. It gives me some serious peace of mind to know we will be warm and the fish tanks will run even if we lose power for an extended period.

we are working on it.. The fish room has its own panel with 3 breakers. now for the generator, lol

90,000 in Capemay and Wildwood are with out power. my brother who lives near there lost it for about 10 minutes. It was mostly the rainy snow and the gal force winds that brought down the trees/powerlines

No power loss for us! I was worrying more about that than the 24" of snow.
