Magic Marker Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I guess I should consider myself lucky....we're just land locked now due to the surrounding area being flooded. No loss of power or flooding at my house. 2011 Volvo S60T6 & 2013 Volvo XC60T6 Polestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Southern RI here, no power anywhere except at work! WTF? I had my genny going full steam for 13 hours yesterday. Cranked her up for showers this AM. I hope we get power back by tonight. Lots of lines down everywhere near my house. I had to drive UNDER a utility pole that dropped across the road to get to work this AM. Good thing I don't have an Outback, wouldn't have made it under the pole.

BAC5.2 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Around 2am the power went out (sunday morning). Came back on around 1pm. No big deal. We were out of town for the storm, so nothing exciting happened. My parents dock was just barely under water, and no damage to the house at all.

BigBlack-V Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Does anyone know how long food is good for us a fridge/freezer? I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Depends on the freezer and the food. I typically throw stuff out at the 12 hour mark for the fridge, and the 24 hour mark for fully-frozen items. A good idea would be to try and go get ice. Pack perishables in a cooler with lots of ice to keep it safe.

As for the fridge and freezer its a newer (2006) Maytag and its been 20 hours since we lost power. I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i came home around 1:30 am with no power. But now im at my day job, a mile away, and i have power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We lost power briefly yesterday a couple times but it always came back on. No major damage either just a lot of yard cleanup to do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil2k2 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Does anyone know how long food is good for us a fridge/freezer? depends how many times you've opened the door since the power went out... I get freaked out by food going bad, so I always error on the side of caution. If I didn't see the weather forecast I would have had no idea there was a hurricane outside. I didn't get any rain in the afternoon, it was blustery, but no crazy wind. Just a rainy day for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubOperator Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Still no power and no running water since i have well on the property. Doing some good grilling though. We have lots of big trees down and on the wires in our woods and on Rt 102, untill they clear that I don't see power coming back. Saw National Grid truck with Georgia plates two nights ago at Home Depot intersection in NK. Nothing wrong with having A beer at 330AM Time to invest in Yamaha inverter generator. Looking to buy one before Katya arrives... 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I can't sleep with the rattle of generators running all night thru the neighborhood. WTF? Shut it off when you go to asleep, run it all day? Murat, Yamaha, Honda and Generac are the quietest and very efficent. My Generac will run 10-12 hours on 3 gallons of gas! Call me if you need help feeding it into your house. I can show you my set up, goes right into the fuse block and feeds 120V to both sides.
