Another downpour mid morning 1/4" Now is Africa hot in the sun.
LISA Good timing this year so you can be home for your anniversary ![Grin ;D](https://www.raptorresource.org/raptorresource/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
KB That is a shame with your power being out so longx2. And you probably didn't have enough time to freeze some water in big bottles. Actually the only way to save the food is to have a very large cooler - which we got - and a source for dry ice - which we found. Then we got a generator!!

No didn't expect another power outage at 1:30 am...funny I don't see any large trees down on any near to me power lines. Maybe blocks away? or more likely, we are on a high density grid that the downed lines could be almost anywhere.
Interestingly, cake eater Edina is re-powered and most of Bloomington. The poorest town of the 3, me, Not at all.
Their twitter account now said many in the cities? could not have power restored till Monday or tuesday, eeks
I didn't replace the last large cooler I had and found out the hard way no longer worked (refrigerator debacle)
I have a portable generator as you know. Requires me pulling it out of shop, not too hard, filling with gas, starting her up, and then running extension cords through an open kitchen window (second floor) to fridge/and a fan or two.
It's good in spring, fall, and even winter...this hottest time of the year, not so much. Though if I had trees down in my yard, ie. like our tornado, I'd do it anyway.
Problem is these days Excel is apparently not staffed enough to provide even close estimation of power restored to customers...
They say they have 1200 lineman out for the state...that was for originally over 200,000 without power.
Don't know how they decide where to do first actually, but we are down to over 134,000 last I looked. But as I said my neighborhood not so much.
They don't carry dry ice where I spent over an hour and a half just charging my laptop today...so hot I drove one block to pick up Davannis sands for dinner today.
Of course Chris wants a hotel room....if not done by mid day tomorrow I may surrender. However, my inclination is to think Ollie man might not be so quiet...
