How long have you been without power at your home?
How long have you been without power at your home?
For me it was a few days at most. For other parts of the county it was over a week after a derecho.
The power company restored the electric power to the county seat first which then made gasoline available at the the two stations in the town. The store farther out wasn't able to pump gasoline until later.

About three days after my first marriage.

Did you mean to say ‘since about three days after my first marriage’?
Your statement as is is ambiguous.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

No, I mean to say since about two days after my first wedding

Record for me was 19 days after a big storm. Having a generator, not that big a deal.Darren wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 2:10 pmFor me it was a few days at most. For other parts of the county it was over a week after a derecho.

Never.
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

I've never been without power. I pay what I owe, when I owe it.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
Re: How long have you been without power at your home?
The power used to go down often here, in the ten years I lived here before I moved to Australia. Since I've been back, fingers crossed, it's not gone down once.
It's understandable though, as we are the end of the line here.

I have a massively helpful cell phone app which tells us which level of "load shedding" we are under and the times when we can expect our 2.5 hours of outage (Level 1). Level 2 is 2 x 2.5 hours spaced 12 hours apart. Level 3 is the same but more often.
I have a UPS and a hernia-inducing battery which I take off-line when load shedding is not scheduled. Eskom also has the occasional "unscheduled breakdown" (language is such fun) but there's not much to do about that.
Currently Eskom has not scheduled any breakdowns. Or load shedding.

Only a couple of times and for a max of 2 hours. We live less than 1/2 a mile from Duke. A couple of dramatic times involved a raccoon and a transformer in our back yard and me in my electric recliner while I was fully reclined. I managed to wrestle myself out of the chair and flopped over the side. I bought a battery backup for it. RIP raccoon.
