My kid was without power for about 4 days. All the cold food was laying out on the back
deck when we drove over there yesterday to clean up some tree limbs.
Her power was back, but her house smelled of wood smoke..
Had it gone on one more day, I was going to haul my 5kw generator up there.

My dentist is in the same town, and I needed some quick dental work done.. No power=no dental work.
I ended up getting a $2286 root canal locally.. I can drink hot coffee again,without the OUCH!!
No limbs fell on the tracker yet.. I taped a section of angle iron over the gap
between the panels (on the east side), so if a limb slides down the side,
it won't slide between the panels and hang up..
I pointed the panels slightly westwards and disconnected the tracking motor..
We are getting some good weather, so maybe I'll try to lasso the bigger limbs down from up there..
