[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3163212, member: 7900"] That's why the rural people already know to have some kind of backup system. We used to live in the Panhandle, and the house we lived in was the very last house on the electric grid in northwestern Texas county. We had gas heat that didn't require electric to move the hot air around (think wall furnaces) and kerosene lanterns for light. On numerous occasions we had our power go out for up to a week to 10 days, many times because of ice storms and broken high-line poles. We were on a co-op system and they would have a guy travel around to every farm affected with a portable generator. He would offer to power up our freezers and refrigerators to help keep the food cold. As it was generally cold anyway, we never needed his services and sent him on to folks less prepared than us. A good rural electric co-op is nice to have. [/QUOTE]
