when we had that huge ice storm in arkansas a few years back............ we had a propane back up heater so we were alright........... and the stove was gas so well fed.......... but no light after dark and NO HOT WATER........ so showers were out of the question. i had worked in the parks for a while and people had this perticular habit of buying 40 dollar lanterns from walmart or wherever........... and hanging them up in the park............. and leaveing them when they went home............. so i had accumulated 3 or 4 of them.
so one night after prolly 4 or 5 days........... we get a knock on our door.......................... the electric company.... they said the house to one side of us didnt have power........... and the house to the other side of us didnt have power................ were we on some other line they didnt know about............. cause the entire front room was lit up like a christmas tree with those three lanterns lol.
oops sorry guys.......... please fix our stuff................... thanks
