IRENE looks like a direct hit for me.

Best of luck. Power failures suck.

OK the worst is over here power is down , running on the generator for now, still pretty windy out.

 

Updates? Any more damage?

 

Finely got all services back. the back side of the storm had higher winds and did a little more damage.







for the most part just a big mess to clean up.
tank is fine power was only out about 30 hours just ran a power head in each tank with the generator wile the frig was running.

 

+1 glad to hear Irene left you with some weekend chores and that everything was left relatively unscathed.

 

Glad to see all is well there. We JUST got power on here after losing it about 9:30 Saturday a.m. Thank goodness for the generator!

 

I'm glad to hear you made it through safe without to much damage.

 

We only had a tropical storm here... Power went out!

And as far as power outages , for a tank of softies and lps the first 18 hours i did not run anything no air and no pumps of any kind, and only ran a power head in each tank the next day for 18 hours, and there was no loss of life in my tank. so my conclusion in a tank such as this i do not believe a day without power will kill things off in its self. but a long outage would call for some sort of intervention to keep it aerated.

 

longest time i've been without power in my current resident was two winters ago for 6 days. the idea that it could happen again this year scares me for the safety of my tank, but realistically i think if I can keep the water aerated things should be fine for 48hours i'd assume without really hurting much
