No Electric For Anna *UPDATE: My Pioneer Woman Tale by Anna_66 (post #27)

[RobiLee]

I just talked to Anna and she still has no power. The power guys got it back on for a brief period and then she said her and Mark heard a loud noise and out went the electric. She has been without electric for 37 hours now. They are keeping warm with a kerosene heater. Because they have no electric that means they have no running water so that is another problem. They have a well and they need that power to pump the water into the house

Keep sending some postive vibes her way in hopes that her electric is fully restored here real soon!

Yep, unfortunately, that's the way it is if you live in a rural area. I'm lucky that my power came back on. I feel for her because the house can grow cold very quickly. I've learned to have several jugs of water in reserve in case of a power outage so that I can at least wash up a little and pour water into toilets to flush them. We'll keep those prayers going.....

[lizbud]

Well drat. Really, I'm surprised I didn't lose power here too. I saw all
the ice forming on the power lines & started praying. Hope you get things
back to normal quick Anna. I never would have made it as a pioneer woman.

Oh no here's hoping everyone is staying as warm as possible, sending good thawing out vibes their way.

[wolf_Q]

Oh man, poor Anna and Mark. I hope they get power restored soon!

[ramanth]

Hope their power comes back soon!!

[CountryWolf07]

No power? Really? Isn't she only a hour and half away from Columbus, about the same distance as you, but south.

[Ginger's Mom]

Wow, that really is way more "roughing it" than I would want to do. And I cannot believe you ventured outside for a walkie! What a dedicated Mom you are. The only time I would have gone out would have been to go to the nearest luxury hotel that takes dogs. But it looks like you all pulled together and had a good time.

[Cincy'sMom]

Lots of postive thoughts coming your way Anna! Hope you get power back soon!!

We know the no water problem also. That is why we have a generator. Power goes off, and we wheel it to the side of the house, plug it in, turn it on - and we have heat, fridge, water and a few lights. Couple up the street from us have a whole house generator. Power goes off, it automatically starts up. Can run on natural gas or propane.

Keeping finger crossed she's back on very soon.

Sending WARM wishes that Anna and her crew has power on soon, it's a pain to sit in cold house!

[Angus's Dad]

Power came on sometime this afternoon

Still on!!!

[RobiLee]

Woo Hoo! :d

[Catty1]

YAAY! Okay, you can stop hugging now...the heat is back on. I SAID...you can STOP...oh, never mind!

[anna_66]

Well, 42 hours with no power is NOT fun I would have never made it as a pioneer woman either. I like my power and running water!

I have lots of pictures to share. I'm uploading them now but it will be later when I'm able to post them. I still have things to do around the house now that I have running water and unfortunately have to work all day today.

Stay tuned
