Nothing like a power outage to bring everything to a stop for awhile. On Wednesday and Thursday of last week, our area had a very strong windstorm which toppled trees and power lines. We were without power at our house for 34 hours. Good thing I had several books on hand. And that we had a kerosene heater that my husband usually uses in his garage workshop!
Since I work at home, the power outage meant no work for me either. At this particular time it was not a big deal, but... what if I had a big project that was due? Lots of questions and thinking about solutions.
The good thing is that long term power outages don't happen a lot. But, they do happen and we should all probably stop and think about what that means for us and our businesses.
Wind Storms are notorious for causing widespread power outage.
