But he is alive and well!!!!!!!!!!! |
In what condition are the preserves?

Not so. I turned everything off completely and set all components up on
a four foot high desk. It should respond if the humidity and heat in the house hasn't destroyed anything. I can hope so anyway. By the way, FEMA turned us down on the supposedly automatic $2k because we were under a mandatory evac, seems we have replacement cost homeowners. I guess I'll have to call my fellow Texan GW. George, catching up on mail and thanks Barb for posting we were alive, now I can't collect my life insurance. <BG> |
Lost everything in the freezer William but the canned goods should
survive, even in the heat and humidity of Sulphur, LA. We will see for sure tomorrow. George |

Indeed, electricity can't be trusted. Ours goes out in a stiff breeze. I'll bet solar panels would keep working in one's absence, if they didn't get blown away. The danger here in Ottawa is that things *would* freeze if the electricity went off for a long time in winter. Beets, pickles, and tomatoes(?) preserved in bottles of brine would burst if the temperature fell far enough. Dried foods should survive, for example I have some dried elderberries in plastic jars which I believe would make it through the biggest blow and float in a flood. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
