4am the power came on

It's 48F outside my blankets.

Thankfully I would have survived the night bundled up. But I can now get up and answer mother nature Lol.

I have generators for that reason

I don't care if the house gets cold. But I have wood/coal heat and chimney fires and furnace melt down fires can happen without electricity to run the fans

@HumanEarth I once had all the survival accessories. Propane heat and woodstove. Generator also.
I'm now in an old 3 room apartment bottom floor of an old 2 story farm house with a well for water. Not much I can do here. Fill the tub for flushing water with a bucket. But I have to foresee a power outage coming to prepare. This one caught the entire street off guard.
