Worst Power Outage

What an ordeal!  How did you ever cope?

Here in Georgia the worst ones come when we get hit with an ice storm.  Regular storms occasionally knock it out here and there.  The last ice storm was a few years ago and I was home with the woman who became my wife.   Fortunately we have a gas stove, gas wall heaters, and a fireplace in the bedroom.  I don't actually remember how many days that lasted.  Not too long.  I remember a big one in the '70's growing up.  Was almost a week, I think.

About 1 second. The worst effect was that I had to re-enter the date & time of my microwave oven.
