Survived Zeta .. but one of 499,999 Duke customers without power

[DemoTex]

Wish I could post a photo of my rig. Running a Honda 2kW generator and 200W solar panel into a Goal Zero 1500 W/hr lithium-ion power inverter. Exactly the same power setup I had at Pinyon Peak fire lookout in Idaho this summer.
But running much more off the system here at my studios on the Blue Ridge Escarpment. Computer, device charging, and modem .. just like at the lookout. But also a refrigerator, a TV, a phone system, a few lights, and more, here on the mountain.
I have a dual-fuel range, so I can cook on the gas cooktop. Grilled a bodacious NY strip on the outside cook station tonight. Heated up some collards and mashed potatoes .. and what a great meal by headlamp.

1. Good to hear you are okay

Now I’m hungry.

2. Glad you are ok. We still don't have power, but because of the generator

we are doing just fine. Had some small limb damage, but nothing like Sally.

3. Sounds like your set up pretty good. nt

4. I only have power because I'm

in the hospital. I’m glad to see you made it! Hell, you didn’t just make it, you’re living high on the hog. Enjoy yourself, and let’s hope that other little storm out there meanders off somewhere else.

5. Putting up 3500W of Solar Power (80% probable) power on my roof.

Will get about 16KW of battery backup power. Will run my pumps, Stove, Frig and lights...single person footprint but scalable to 4 people, I think.

6. PHEW!

Stay safe

7. Sounds like you're doing well, my dear DemoTex!

After all, you're smart and inventive.

Hope the power comes back on very soon.

8. We had some heavy winds here in the morning.

Nothing compared to my time in the Keys.

Glad you’re good.

9. Sounds good!

Excellent. 'Cept for the power outage. I dearly hate those.
