[QUOTE="DWSmith, post: 570169, member: 5102"] Ahhh, power outages. Before we had our whole house standby generator I had a deep cycle battery and a 400 watt inverter. Don't laugh. It was a godsend. We lost power for 3 1/2 days during the winter when the temperatures were hovering a little below freezing. The gas fireplace barely kept us warm enough. That battery kept our cell phones charged, my laptop charged so I could access the internet over our land line (remember dial up? :) ), let us watch some TV in the evenings, and ran a lamp with a CFL. The battery still had a decent charge when we got our power back. Of course our food from the freezer and the refrigerator went out on the north side of the house on the front porch in some clean steel garbage cans we use for animal feed. I used new black trash bags to line the cans. Anyway, I digress but these cell phones are important during a power outage. Got to keep updated on current events and let the relatives know your status. [/QUOTE]
