I lost power for about 6 hours last night. I ran the heater and return pump off the car with my inverter till 11, then brought the battery inside. My tank sits in the garage, so the temp is a serious consideration for me when it comes to power outages. The battery out of the car wasn't enought to run the heater and pump once it was disconnected from the vehicle, so I may be considering purchasing a small generator in the future for these freakish storms that we are so wonderfully graced with

. I was just about out of juice when the power came back on last night at 12:30; weird thing is that the people on the other side of the arterial road had power back on around 9...considered asking if I could run an extension cord from one of there houses for a bit

but didn't.
Glad to hear there were no catastrophes for anyone else.
