This was bad. I spoke to NOAA at the West VA state fair on 8/11 and he said it was bad all over the East coast and it probably won't happen again like this for 20 years. Thank God. This was the only system they had on display at their booth. Our local government building went down and the generator didn't come up for 30 minutes. It controls dispatch o_O. My mother-n-law lives in Charleston too and she said it was the worst she has seen there :O God bless

hate to here that for you. I live in South Hills, we were blessed and only lost water for 5-6 hours on Saturday and never lost power. We have a deep-freezer in our garage and have been able to make ice for our friends and family. Hope you get your power on soon!!

MrSabotSlug commented on 03 Jul 2012

Keep hanging in there. Been right where you are before. Except we had a generator for the freezer. Now we have a few generators and plenty of gas stored up. If you store gas make sure you put the correct storing additives in it.

GunznGear commented on 03 Jul 2012

Hang in there! Freezing water containers is something that I always recommend. That can add days to freezed goods, if you don't keep opening the freezer to check. VA still has a lot of folks out also... and more storms coming

Surviving the power outage!

Winter storm causes widespread power outages. Here are some things we did to get through without electricity. I created this video with the YouTube Video ...

You guys are HILARIOUS!! Glad you made it through okay. :-)

sheps4her commented on 20 May 2014

Thanks! We do try to see the humor in things!

Debbie M. commented on 09 Mar 2014

You guys survived it quite well. Well done in my book. At least you made light of it kidding around, that was funny lol. Ya kno, I believe BexarPrepper and PetPrepper, are sponsoring a contest regarding living off grid during a power outage. The contest runs until June, I think (?). You should submit your video in the contest. I'm sure the prizes are probably very nice. It's worth a try, mayb you'll win. That would be cool :-) Stay warm and take care my friends-Debbie

sheps4her commented on 10 Mar 2014

Thank you! We definitely saw some shortcomings, which was good to see during such a short emergency. Next time we hope to be more prepared. Thanks for the tip on the contest, I will check it out. :o)

sure will ive been thinking on some video ideas - but the best thing i could of had was a generator of cousre ! they sell kits on the internet that alow you to run your generator on the natural gas from your home - they are very cost effective and gas service is the most unlikely to be shut off in an event of emergancy ! if you type in generator on natural gas you should be able to find video on the matter on youtube :) ill be investing in this as soon asthe finances are avalible -

x275 racer commented on 07 Jul 2012

great video brother. I live in charleston and was on my boat when the storm hit. It pretty much wiped our street out. We had 4 trees down on my street along with a powerpole that went theough a ladies van and her home. Two other homes where destroyed just on our street which is on the river. I think the river had alot to do with the damage just by the way the storm was rollin. Got power back on today around 2pm. Godbless and stay safe...

mybeautifullife88 commented on 04 Jul 2012

A really easy and traditional way of cooling down the house is to wet towels and hang them in the doorways of every room. My husband and I had to do that during our two day blackout last September here in San Diego. Stay safe and have a wonderful 4th of July buddy. :)

Dr FML commented on 04 Jul 2012

stay safe jedi today of all days, alot of drunks is going to be out today due to its the 4th. but i hope you stay cool due to the storms thats going to be off and on. happy 4th and hope they get your power on soon.

Jedi Majic commented on 02 Oct 2012

It was a big eye opener for me ! I just bought a big generator and ill be buying a kit to hook it up to natural gas from the house ! Ill be showing it off I a video soon , thanks for stoping by my channel :)

BabeeBlueOnTheTown commented on 02 Oct 2012

I can relate...we went 5 days with hurricane Charley here in Jacksonville...I lived in the Historic district with a lot of big old trees that were down, which prolonged the outage.

gumman12341 commented on 04 Jul 2012

Where I live everyone go and talk to each other and now the power is on and everyone is back to hardly talking to each other

Jedi Majic commented on 31 Jul 2012
