skinnywater Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 One of the times I'm glad the weather guy was wrong. Not even a drop of rain here, sun's out with a nice breeze. Glad I grabbed 20 gallons of gas for the generator...lol RAW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAW Posted September 16 Author Report Share Posted September 16 My only peeve was grocery store added $2 to a case of water, When tourist went home $3.99 , girl removing tag and priced at $5.99. Hannaford! They forget locals don’t go away, lots of pissed locals as even bread was raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccus7 Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Thank goodness for standby, whole home generators & fiberoptic instead of cable. It's business as usual here...

If you see some of their junction boxes on poles, you'll notice a little light on them so for extended power outages, you'll lose it. Fiberoptic doesn't have that limitation, at least in terms of transmission, no power needed. Here both are on poles so they're equally susceptible to tree damage. Obviously, you'll need power at home to drive your network hardware... drmevo 1 Shall I go to heaven or a-fishing? - H. D. Thoreau Veni. Vidi.

RAW Posted September 16 Author Report Share Posted September 16 Bare with me, if the town loses power will that fiber optics line be live without power ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 82% of my town was down today and I had internet all day. I assume the origination point, the local telecom head office, had a generator.
