    Re: Hurricane Charlie takes lives that won't be to

    I lost power for about 13.5 hrs but luckily the day before I bought a power inverter and had some 12V batteries charged so as soon as the power went out I hooked up my SEIO to the inverter and it ran all night. The next morning before my lights were supposed to come on, the power kicked on, so it was like nothing happened at all.

    Sorry about your losses. A good friend of mine lost power and the next day I took him my inverter and battery and let him use it, I kept one battery at my house on charge so as soon as one was exhausted we then changed it out. His tank ran for about 2 days on my stuff. Everything in his tank is A OK.

    Yeah I ran down to Miami, and bought 2 battery powered air pump. They run on D batteries. I know that's not all that is needed but it would've helped.

    I guess the solar panel kits are the best in case of a long black out.

    I'm glad everything worked out for you bud.
