Re: Jugs of Water, Check, Flashlights, Check.....

@Still Raining   I hate losing power.  I would have made a terrible pioneer. lol

 

Last year we lost power, no storms or wind, it just went out for 3 hrs. When it came back on we had no water, well pump got fried. The well guy came the next day but it was 3 days before we had water back.

 

My son lives 4 miles away so we went there with jugs and filled up for flushing.  We showered at his house and did some laundry.  It was a pain but we had power.at the house, just no water.

Once you get up from hearing the whole house generater quote, you have to wonder why they don't hand pump handles like in the old days.  Go figure.
