How to survive and thrive after Windstorm 2008
How I did it: There are still many signs around town that indicate the Windstorm 2008 damages and destruction. There are many blue tarps on roofs and trees in different stages of demolition. A few unlucky homeowners still have crushed houses around the area, I saw a house yesterday that looked like it was crushed as if it was a tin can.
However, today I got a reminder in my calendar - test the generator. We did a quick generator test, primed it with gas, and it started right up. Its humming noise comforted me as I used regular electricity to meet my needs inside my safe and intact home.
I realized that it had been approximately a month since the power was restored for good, and I had set that reminder in my calendar as a monthly maintenance check to continue forward.
And continue forward I will, to feather my nest, test my equipment, and stay prepared but positive for the coming winter.
