I was lucky that my power stayed on. I know that some areas in south Langley were without for over eight hours! Paul ( Inspector on Canreef) had bought one of those power inverters from Canadian Tire...you leave them plugged in...when power goes out, you can run a powerhead for approx. eight hours before running out of a charge. The larger model could probably run a heater too if need be. Small investment for the life of a tank.

Ivy,

Power at our place & King Ed's never went out. Down the hill on Gilley, our friends' power went out for about 6 hours Sat. morning.

I had 15 black outs in the last week, I gave up and took the stand if it dies it dies and nothing did mind you the longest was 4 hours and the rest were under 1 hour.
