The weather has been crazy
Re: The weather has been crazy
My dad was actually calling everyone today to do to them like i do to them. Oh, it's snowing and below freezing? Oh, it's 65 sunny and clear here...
Re: The weather has been crazy
It was a treacherous drive home tonight. Roads were snow covered,with black ice everywhere. I took my time with the white knuckle ride to my humble abroad. When I got 3 miles from home....power lines were down along with frozen tree limbs on the road. Totally sucked......
Re: The weather has been crazy
Wow, yeah...that doesn't sound fun. It's been YEARS now since I had to deal with snow, so honestly barely even remember those issues.
Re: The weather has been crazy
Power is out to 28,000 customers here from the ice on power lines and downed tree branches. I had a large White Pine lose several limbs,and do damage to my outside shed. I had to call my insurance company to find out what they're going to cover...the power won't be back on here in some places until Monday morning at 11a.m....!! What a P.I.T.A....!!!

We had a hurricane here back in the 90's and power was off for a week,trees were down all over the place and a local one lane bridge was knocked off its foundation into the river.. Thats the longest Ive ever been without power.

Re: The weather has been crazy
This is causing a lot of people here to rethink their home power/utilities options. People think I'm nuts( well, yes I am) since I'm always joking about a zombie Apocalypse happening...but the scary thing is,everything that would happen leading up to,and during a zombie outbreak is similar to severe weather,or a national emergency. Does anyone really realize what a EMP pulse will do..???...I kept telling my friends for years to prep for severe weather,or..joking it would not be fun if the undead are everywhere, so what do you have to lose...? Now...they're sitting in the dark and cold....bitching there's no heat,no phone,no TV..boo hoo!...take heed...you've been warned...!

Re: The weather has been crazy
People just dont look ahead and as happened with me with a fire, it only has to happen once. Most people think it will never happen to them.

Re: The weather has been crazy
I'm terrified of fire...I have a cat, and many collectables. So,to ease my mind, I deliberately put in a security system,just so I would have an early warning system for fire. A general FWI to everyone who reads this forum. If you have a security system provided by any of the nationally known companies (ADT,Guardian,etc) These need battery service also..!!! This is CRITICAL...!!They have a battery in the main panel,mine does,in my basement,along with the window sensors, wireless smoke detectors in different rooms/levels. These need to be changed(I was told by the service tech) every 5 years. These are lithium batteries. DON'T ASSUME THEY DO NOT NEED CHANGED...! ask your security system customer service...BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY..!
