Jerry, is there such a thing as generators that run from solar energy? May be a silly Q - my mechanical aptitude is quite limited.

Between the fridge and two coolers, I can usually keep the food cold for a day or two, but three days was too much. I will use the generator primarily to keep the fridge cold and maybe an hour or two for tv time. I have my laptop for the internet and I can use the generator to recharge the battery.
I think so, Sea. The ones that I looked at, primarily run on gasoline or propane, but I think I saw one that can also be run on solar energy. That would be great for you folks in So Cal.
There is another hurricane out there that we are watching, Sea. The generator won't be here in time should that one hit us too, but I kept all my hurricane gear handy and I only restocked the fridge a little bit, so I won't lose much food, if we go dark again. I hate the hurricane and blizzard seasons.
We got a little generator. It would keep the freezer and refrig running.
The thing is, we got it and haven't had the occasion to use it which is fine by me!!!

Yeah, I think I know which one you're talking about, but they think that one will die or veer off - I forget the name of it. I sa it on the news page this a.m. They say that their instruments can be off though with them that far away by a hundred miles.
Not to worry, Jerry! I'll have mercy on you.
OK, folks, the countdown has officially begun:
19 minutes....
Wish Salem were here.
This storm wasn't that bad, Jan. The electric company wasn't ready for it, that's why our power was out for so long. A lot of people in RI still don't have any power and may not have it restored until Tuesday.
There's supposed to be an investigation into the electric company, after the clean up is over, but this is RI, so I don't have much faith in the official investigation, it probably will never happen.

They are always saying things like that when they are caught with their pants down. Using goes nowhere though.
It's called Katya, Sea. She's on the thread right now. lol
I'm not worried about "Katya", Katya. I'm worried about the electric company. The way they handled Irene, if we get hit with a full blown hurricane, we could lose our power for a month. Wouldn't that be fun !!!Not to worry, Jerry! I'll have mercy on you.

Is Salem feeling any better ?? I hope she is.
