Two weeks without power and two very small children. Super exhausting! Thank heavens for gas powered water heaters, though. And thankfully it wasn't too cold.

We used an inverter to keep the house warm-ish, but still had bad condensation and had to repaint the entire indoor part of the house once the power came back on.

We lived less than a mile from City Utilities corporate office at the time and were one of the last 3% to regain power. The prior July I had asked them to come out and trim the trees over the power lines. A guy came out and said it looked fine and left.
