    Default Power Outage

    Yesterday was a very long day. We had a Major storm Friday night here in Twin Falls area along with a very large brush fire and the power was out for 27 hours.

    I ran my backup air pump Friday night and then Saturday with the power still out I went and picked up a generator. The problem was this happened to my tank at work. I have been baby sitting my tank and generator all day.

    I know many have said this in the past but get yourself a generator if you don't have one. I did find a 1250W rated at 800W for $129.00. I ran all pumps and only 2 lights all day and I think everything is going to be fine. We all know what it cost to replace our livestock so it's worth the cost to get one.

    I hope no one has to do this my nerves are shot!

    Totally agree. I have a more expensive generator that can produce 6250 Watts of power, but I run the tank, fridge, tv, computer and some lights on it. Very convenient when you have no power for an extended duration.
