8 Hour Power Outage!!!!

:'( I would hope most people would be smarter than that!

Hopefully nobody you know :/

 

Yeah its dangerous and dumb, but some people don't use common sense. Here in Florida some people did it and paid the consequences.

 

We may have a few earthquakes here and there, but never severe weather. I don't know how ya'll get through it every year -- hats off to you!

 

I'll take severe weather over earthquakes anytime!

Been thru a couple big ones myself. Bad do-do...

You are talking about no power for months, not just days!

How about those famous California "brown outs?" - I forsee lots more of those to come in future. We are in a drought here in PNW, where allot of your power comes from. When we need it, you don't get it. ;D

​

 

Earthquakes only last for a couple of minutes - severe weather can last for days...weeks! Luckily, I don't live near any fault lines. When I lived in SF, though, got a few little shakes - kinda scarry. Haven't had a brown outs in 6 years. Oh, go ahead and keep your water, we'll just steal it from someone else!

 

I rather have severe wheather for a couple days, rather than having an earthquake. Never been in one and dont plan to.

 

i lost power for a day so i put a 5 gallon bucket on the corner of my tank with a hole in it so it would slowly pour into the tank.i just kept refilling the bucket and things were all ok.all my stuff may have been ok anyway but i just wanted to be sure they had enough oxygen.

 

How about doing a dyi on a small DC operated inflation pump - like what you use for inflating air mattresses (connect plastic tubing, tyeing a rock on the end)...you could probably pump allot of air off one car battery...bet they only cost a few bucks at Wall Mart!

Or get a foot operated one and tie kid to it.

 

lol i like your sence of humor.i have an eleven yr old that i could have pumping air into the tank lol.;D
