Propane…I have a 500 gallon tank. I believe my 20 KW generator uses around 3 gallons per hour or 72 gallons a day.

Merry Christmas Think!

Fingers crossed you get power back before the 7th day!

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Dan—and Tuck says hi!

Ours went down around 5pm last night and just came back on.
Hopefully you too since you aren’t that far from us.

Ours just came back after 24 1/2 hours down!

Thank you Eversource for working Christmas Eve to restore power!

LSP was the same. Ran up yesterday noon with a small generator to get the sump pump working on the 9" of water in the basement. Maybe now my dad will put a backup battery on it? It was about 20 years before we lost power for more than 2 hours, now it's happened a few times in the last 3-4 years.
Everyone was safe and that's what counts.
