Our power did not go out until Sunday morning (and then only for a little over an hour, but it was right as we were getting ready for the day) and we discovered how woefully prepared we are in the water department. Looking at getting and filling 55 gallon tanks in the basement that we can use to fill buckets for flushing toilets and washing. We do have a filter if we need to filter this stored water for drinking. We have never had a well before so we needed this reminder of what we need to do. So grateful it was not a long-term loss of power like so many others have/are experiencing. On the bright side, we have a good amount of food storage and a wood stove and wood pile. Getting to know the Maine way of living!
