So, we survived and finally got power back 13 days after the hurricane. We were very lucky to get a generator from a friend and our neighbor is an electrician so he hooked it up to our breaker so we could run what ever we wanted. However we didn't run much b/c of the gas use! Jeff had a brilliant idea and bought a window unit for our bedroom and we were given the other one. It worked really well keeping it "cool" in the house. Reese and I would leave during the hotter parts of the day and come home early evening to get the generator started. I don't think we are going to sit the next one out, I'll be leaving before it gets here!
