    We are learning to prepare for and survive a power outage with the use of a 12 volt deep cycle battery and an 800 watt power inverter.

The total cost for a battery, charger and inverter was $140 which is pretty good for 800 watts of power. It’s winter in America and past...

          I had to recently check my bags because of the June 29, 2012 Blackout in the mid-Atlantic states that was caused by a Derecho which is a widespread, long-lived, straight-line windstorm that is associated with a fast-moving band of severe thunderstorms. I’m glad I did as there are always things such as food and water that need to be rotated out and it also gives me a chance to...
