I was in bed with the bed in full p-right position. I grabbed ahold of the bed control to lower the head a lot nd the bed as well (so the hoyer lift could get me out) but before I cold lower he head .....… the power went out. It was a loooong 2 hours because we didn't now IF the generator was going to kick in. We have full power and cable but our ater pressure is low and we were advised to conserve water.

I have been home for four years since an ccident at the beach (C4/5) and so far we have been pretty lucky with tropical torms and hurricanes. However, back in July we had a very unusual thunderstorm called a “Derecho”) and we lost power for several days. With no air onditioning and no power for my low loss air mattress, I was moved to a local ospital. I hope this hurricane passes to our north. After it passes by, I would ove to find some sort of a way to obtain a backup generator. On a positive note, my oldest daughter got married back in August. The orecast was for very heavy rain on her wedding day. The day before, between the ehearsal and the rehearsal dinner, it rained cats and dogs. But on the day of er wedding, the storm somehow missed us completely. Thank God for that. I've done a bit of research into generators, and based on what I have read, an nexpensive generator can damage batteries and sensitive electronics. pparently, the more expensive generators use things called inverters. And pparently it takes a pretty big generator to run air conditioning. Does anyone now much about these generators? Any recommendations on units to buy, or how to aise donations to afford them?

WE ALL live needing, and depending on, a LOT of electricity. I ive in a 250 unit senior/disabled apartment building that has a very, very arge generator. In June 2011 the new owner's were testing out the breaker ystem that back-up the elevator's and emergency lights in the hallways, OH and he alarm system. When they flipped the breaker .....… EVERYTHING blew out and hut down. The good of the bad is that they updated and fixed the problem. In August 011 when hurricane Irene hit us EXTREMELY HARD, everybody around us lost power or weeks .....… except us. Roads surrounding us stayed flooded for a little ver 1 week. Anyway, how many of you all live where THIS storm is going to hit? Bobbie > Sent from my iPad
