Glad to see that BYH friends are doing OK and most animals made it too.....Thinking of you all and hoping for quick recovery and heat, power and water for everyone.

Oh poor Sheepgirl! That really stinks! I know the worst part is not having water, ugh! I really hope they get your power restored tonight so you can wake up to a nice, warm, cozy house!

I hate being without power for 5 minutes. I can't imagine going that long.I hope it comes back on soon.

X 2 ! Hope your power comes on soon...went over a week in Florida without power after Hurricane Charlie and that is not fun!!! If you use candles, careful to let some fresh (yeah I know it's cold) air in too...don't poison yourself!

Hope you get power restored soon. I know we'd be without water if the power went out.

As for heat -- you have a woodstove or even a fireplace?

 

[SheepGirl]

We got our power back on this morning at 1 am!! Which means we went 78.5 hours without power We don't have a generator (though my mom thought about buying one...but her sister called and said we could borrow hers, turns out it didn't work :/ so we just went without it) and we do have a fireplace...but it's gas and because my mom decided a couple years ago she didn't want to pay for the tank & the gas, the gas company came and took the tank...so we have a fireplace but it can't work lol.

It's funny...we don't lose power often, even when most people do, but when we do it's for days at a time!

But anyway, glad to see everyone else came out okay!

Bridge--how's your horse paddock now? I hope you get everything repaired soon!

Yay for power!!

We have a generator, but it's just a small one. It does run the corn/pellet stove though, so we wouldn't freeze! (Been there thru that one, darn winter storms)
How cold was it there?

 

[Bridgemoof]

Hey Sheepgirl! Glad you finally got your power back. You need to start knitting with all that wool you have so you have something warm to wear next time! :bun

Two of the paddocks are in bad shape and no horses can go into them until we repair the fences. Lots of fence damage, it's gonna take a LONG time to get them back in shape. Just pulling the logs and debris off the downed fences is an arduous process. Could be weeks...months.

For power on!

Wish I was close enough to offer a hand.
