We lost power last night for 10-15 min. So far so good. I have a tiny 1500W generator that should run my main pump and 1 heater so I should be ok....

I run a cord from my power inverter in my car to a air pump and the heater lol

Good luck you guys. Living in PG may suck for this hobby but never a power outage problem. Unless a drunk knocks fown a power pole

I filled a bunch buckets with tapwater thinking that we would get a monsoon-style rainstorm and the water supply reservoirs would get a bunch of sediment. (I use tapwater!). But there was no rain; just wind. Let's hope it stays that way....

This is yet another reason to spring for a RODI unit....

Was up at the top of Whistler today, and it was windy alright. They had to close down the Peak2Peak gondola. But not as bad as I was expecting. Had another great deep powder day, so can't complain about that.

In Langley, I live in one of the worst places for power outages, yet it was not bad at all last night. Don't think it will be too bad tonight either. But am home now, so all ready with my back up battery packs if it does happen.
