Electric Grid Down

We had a snow storm. In my part of Louisiana we got 4-6”. I’ve lived in Upper Michigan for a winter and Cody Wyoming for a winter. The infrastructure is built for heavy snow and ice. Snow plows, salt, etc. routine.

Around here we rarely get snow. It’s a big deal. Bridges ice up. People drive too fast, etc. And tree limbs get weighted with snow and crash to the ground. Sometimes bringing wires down with them.

This is the third day without electricity. We go up to my Mother-on-laws for a shower. Two years ago we bought her a 16 kv Generac. I bought a 20 kv for our new house that is just about complete. Unfortunately, the Generac dealer has been waiting sometimes 3-4 months for a company delivery. Says it’s been like that for over a year, demand is so great.

Why?

Power company says they’ll have ours restored tomorrow. I think there were 50k homes without power.

I want my Generac!

Might be worth buying stock in the company.
