Almost exactly 4 years ago we were out up here in Michigan for over 120 hours after a wind storm took out power to 1 million homes. Large scale restoration takes time. When the load and supply are imbalanced it can make things worse as well.We use propane. It's less dense energy-wise than gasoline, but it's really easy to switch over.I'm hoping things return to normal soon but also am reminded it can take some time.We now have a large generator with automatic switchover after that event. Filling gas cans every 12 hours to feed the generator is no fun.
