I, too, have been without electricity for days. That is why I bought a generator. Some in my area have no electricity right now, but mine has not went off.........yet. I am used to the electricity being out. It happens half a dozen time s a year. If the wind blows, ice storm for certain, snow storms, and sometimes for nothing. I have well water, so that has never been a problem. The poor folks out around Oklahoma sure have had some troubles. I am thankful as well.
