Storm writeup

[blackanvil]

I survived, at least so far -- still no power, so no well, no AC, no TV. Yes, I have Internet, some things are important. A writeup of what I experienced (it was spectacular) and some musings below the cut.

Thanks for sharing this - I figured you were ok and better-prepared than most but it is still good to hear from you :)

I could have gotten a fawn who though he was hiding under a bush, but that would have been excessive.

This made me giggle.

Glad to hear you are doing well!

I tell you, it was wicked. We have massive trees, and to see them bend like that with a full load of leaves was uncomfortable. But they all survived.

As for testing things, that too. I just leave the shed on solar, it allows me to constantly use the inverter and the like and watch out for pending failures. I am however now thinking of switching over to the Matrix UPS, so I can have real 240 volt center-tapped power. But I would need another set of batteries to make that happen.

Perhaps. I can make coffee, but I would like to survive the apocalypse in style...

And if you don't use it, you don't know if it works

I'm glad your unscheduled test of your DR systems is going off fairly well. :)

Yes, this. Glad you are ok!
