   NB>We don't usually get power outages here, thankfully... :)   
      
     Power outages at my place are rare. That deal last summer was a freak   
   storm, that pulled the electric meter off the north side of the house,   
   and pulled the electric meter panel out of its place in the garage.   
      
     The insurance company dawdled around, saying the house was still   
   "livable", as there was no other damage (to the roof or otherwise), and   
   there was still running water.   
      
     However, with no power or air conditioning, it was over 100 degrees in   
   here, and people die in conditions like that each day. It was akin to   
   taking a hot shower, then climing into bed naked, without drying off.   
      
     After one night at that, where I got very little sleep, I said "screw   
   this!!", and went and got a room at an area Super 8 Motel for 2 weeks.   
      
     How the insurance company considers what I described as "livable" ois   
   beyond me. They want you as a customer, and for you to pay the   
   premiums...but to have them pay out a claim, it's a catastrophe.
