Major ICE storm

[Bob & Carol Howald`]

Well, we've had our major storm here in the midwest. Got about 1" of
ice on Thursday night and about 4 inch's of snow on top of that. All
electric was off in most of our area. We had major tree damage and the
place looks like
a bomb went off. We lost our electricity for 46 hours. I started the
kabota generator in the coach and ran 125' of 10-3 extension cords. we
powered 2 hi-eff. furnaces plus 3 refers plus numberous lights hot
plate's etc plus the coach heat. No problem at all. ran the gen. for 45
hrs continuiously. (glad I use Synthetic oil in everything)..Can't wait
to get to South Padre! On the other topic, I use 2 24,000 # air
over hyd jack's when working on the coach and then place 12000 # jack
stands. When feeling uncomfortable about the blocking I ocasionally use
6x6 wood blocks that I use with the boat blocking. I have to use a 4000
# floor jack just to lift the front of my dodge diesel truck!
Looking forward to thaw here in the heart land. Bob&Carol
