 Thanks for the replys.  Our power was out for 8 hours.  I did go to Best buy to buy a back up battery.  They of course forgot to tell me that it had to be charged up before I could use it, even though I told them I had a power outage.  It crossed my mind that it might not work but I thought they would have told me.  I was able to borrow a generator from a neighbour so I was very lucky.  Also lucky as I was about to walk out the door for dinner for the evening.  I now have a backup battery and we are thinking of getting a generator too.  Didn't lose anything so I was fortunate. |
