    Default Guess it's time to buy a generator.

    No power until at least Tuesday night. Morrison to Bailey.

    My power went out around 11:00 but came back a few hours later. I noticed that most of the businesses down 285 didn't have power this morning. I suppose it will be intermittent over the next two days.

    The longest power outage I had so far is four days. I don't have my generator hooked up yet; I need to get to that at some point. Mainly, it is just the well pump, refrigerator, and freezer; I don't care about the rest.

    This ^^^, and look for one that runs at 1800RPM rather than 3600RPM...

    If you can't afford a good one right now, I'd suggest renting what you need- don't invest in the disposable junk widely available.

    Went with a Honda 3000 for now. It's stupid quiet and it's running what we need to cover.

    You should find many uses for that. I would like to replace my camper portable with a Honda 2000 or 3000.

    Wife said the power in Bailey went off about 10:30 or 11:00 last night but was on shortly before midnight. Others weren't so lucky, apparently.
