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

[RobiLee]

Hi all,

I just spoke to Anna and she wanted me to let you know that they had an ice storm and she has had no electric since around 8pm yesterday evening. They are home and hanging in there waiting for the electric to come on. She missed her morning PT time and is having withdrawls . She wanted me to let everyone know what was going on and where she is at.

Lets send out some postive vibes that her power is restored real soon!

Ooh, sorry to hear that. I hope that she, at the very least has a fireplace for warmth (as well as four hairy dogs ), and a gas stove for cooking. If not they may need to find a nice dog friendly place to stay for a while. Keep warm and safe Anna, Mark, and furkids.

I hope Anna has her power back by now. I lost mine at 3:00 AM. I couldn't sleep (so what else is new) and just finished watching a movie when the power went out. (At least I got to see the entire movie.) It flickered twice, then went out for good. I thought "Now do I call and report it or because we've had this ice storm, will they already be aware of it?" I fumbled around to find my flashlight, called and reported it because I figured that most people wouldn't know the power was out since it was 3:00 AM and they'd only know when their alarm clocks didn't go off and they were late for work. But after approx. 15 min., it came back on, which is unusual. My little town is usually the first to lose power and the last to have it restored. I have a fireplace but the thought of lighting a fire at 3:00 AM did not appeal to me.

Sorry to hear no power for Anna. I'd be having withdrawal myself.
Hope you get power back soon.It's no fun at all.

We'll be thinking of her! We lost power for a few minutes last night but get this - it was a planned event, AND we were forewarned by mail more than a week ago! The power company was planning some maintenance, and let us know. I thought that was great.

Stay warm, Anna! I can't imagine being in that kind of weather. Hope you're back soon. Cuddle up with those dogs.
