And often a bathtub as well. We have not yet broken down and bought a generator but it is only a matter of time! The last time a big storm came through, we had workers from out of state come in to help restore the power and the guys had no idea how to fix some of our equipment because it was already old when even their oldest guys were training. ;)Mama Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486091328948046021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42766080526493454.post-67553709543018522662013-07-02T04:24:16.986-07:002013-07-02T04:24:16.986-07:00Fill the bathtubs as soon as you hear the storm co...Fill the bathtubs as soon as you hear the storm coming?<br /><br />One of my sisters just bought a beautiful house on a hill...

She has a septic tank and a well, too. They are buying a huuuuge generator.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458408621855773976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42766080526493454.post-2809082497439962822013-07-01T20:44:13.973-07:002013-07-01T20:44:13.973-07:00Yep.
