Back to back power outages

The first was 26 hours, the second, 30 hours long. About 10 hours in between. Both preemptive by the power company for wind speed expectations >100 mph. 107 mph was recorded just north of me by about two miles.

At least we have a gas stove, and a gas fireplace that can be used without electricity. It was world ending for kid who had never had to deal with a power outage for more than 15 minutes before.

It was kind of fun for me though. Reading by literal candlelight, snuggling under lots of blankets (furnace requires power to run). Crappy coffee, confused dogs.

Back to "normal" now it seems. First world problems.
