We got a generator last year because of the storms. And thank goodness because our power went out on Friday. We have a gas fireplace so that helped with the heat, and then we used the generator for the fridge and other things. I would like to get solar panels but.. a few things, still thinking about it.

Edit: Let me say I do believe in global warming and I believe we’re realizing things are happening faster than scientists previously predicted. In 10 years things will look completely different. It’s one of the reasons I’m really glad to live here. Drought won’t be an immediate problem, and we’re not too close to the ocean. The hills and mountains slow or stop tornadoes, and so on.
