We've had strong winds since about 3 a.m., gusts to 75 MPH, and we lost electricity about noon today. It's still out and no idea when it will come back on. I have a back up generator, 6,700-watts that takes care of out electrical needs, and very miserly on fuel consumption. I've burned about 3 gallons in the past 9 hours. I just topped off the tank and hope that gets us through the night. I rely heavily on electricity because I need it to run my oxygen generator, which is the only think keeping me alive. I have a backup tank that will run about 4 hours if the my back up generator runs out of gasoline during the night. Sure hope the electric comes back on soon, though. Winds are down to about 35 MPH now, which means the electric crews can work a bit safer in restoring our power.

Stay safe and warm guys and gals,

Gary
