Ditto the sentiments below. One question...are power outages frequent in your area other than in major storm events like this? You won't like the price of an adequate back-up generator to power your entire home if you purchase one. Until your alternative is to spend a week+ with no electricity at all. Had that experience more than once. Bought a small portable generator years ago, and eventually went to a whole-home standby. Not cheap, but worth every penny. Especially in the winter, when ice storms can be a problem where I live. Last big one a few years ago knocked the power out in my neck of the woods for 8 days of far below freezing temps over the Christmas holiday season. Best present I got that year was the sound of the generator cranking over and starting up.

So glad that you are ok.
