2-3 weeks ago we had a really bad storm come through. Lightning struck a pole very close to our house and knocked out power for 6 hours. I had not sorted out my Generator for Hurricane season yet. Seems my 4 year old battery was dead. I yanked the battery out of my Mini.

We got hit by 2 waves yesterday, the first was pretty bad, the lights blinked. The second was about 4 hours behind. I had not installed the new battery yet. I scrambled and got it in just before the second wave hit.

Didn't lose power.

Next weekend I will finally do the oil change and tune up.

Regarding water, that is one nice thing about have a pool. That plus 5 gallon bucket, endless flushes.

I have a system rigged to run my well and back feed it to house in case municipal water goes out.
