In the summer of 2024 we dealt with a power outage of nearly a week after a line of thunderstorms and tornadoes tore through our area. I discovered that my trusty but rarely used generator would not start with propane. After three days I borrowed a small generator to run the fridge and the freezer alternately. That got me through it, but it was miserable with the nighttime heat and no fans to make restful sleep possible. During those nights I kept a piece of cardboard beside the bed so I could fan myself a bit if I woke up hot. We got through it, but a power outage takes way more work to maintain even a reduced comfort level. Not fun.
