Power outage.......

What do you do when a storm comes through and knocks out your power? What do you do while the power is out? How do you entertain yourself?

When I was a kid living with my father, a really bad ice storm came through and hit the power lines. It was bad. It knocked out the power for over a week.

Never really happens and if it does, does not last long. Back in Australia, it happens to allot since powerlines are flying where tress full on them and they like to fly around as they do.

My house that I'm renting from my parents has a standby generator so I never have to worry about the power going out.

What is a stand alone generator?

A standby home generator keeps your power on during an outage. It's installed outside your house (like an AC unit) and comes on automatically — whether you're home or away. All within seconds of a power outage. Plus home generators run on propane or natural gas, so there's no refueling.

I had friends and family had a generator, then again it was used allot in the outback of farming lands.

I usually read during a power outage (of course I normally do that anyway). That's the one thing I can do with or without the power on in my house. I normally have a few flashlights in my house do I don't have to worry about being able to see my book in the dark. I also have a book light that someone got me for Christmas one year.

Knock on wood on this one, but haven't lost power in sometime. But I would just pull out my phone or some other handheld device to pass time or go to bed if the time is right.

I cannot do anything if it happens. If it is allowable to use my generator, I will do it.
