July 10  a severe storm went through. The power was off for 21 hours. My neighbor ran a cord from his generator across the street and we plugged in my refrigerator and computer and router.

When the power went off it flickered for a while and  partially fried my A/C; once I manage to get it turned on it works, but last night I had to turn off the power strip to turn it off. So tomorrow will have a new one installed.

I've thought about having a generator installed over the years but never got around to it.

Definitely want to look into solar to work with Gary's generator.
