Ready for Spring

The Winter hasn't been kind to us here in the North Central Arkansas Ozarks. The heavy ice storm that swept through the area knocked down a huge amount of timber, which took out much of the electrical grid. My Guardian generator ran for six days straight.

I had just filled the 250 gallon propane tank to 85% and when the electrical was restored I was down to 40% but it was well worth the $471 to be one of only 3 homes in this part of Searcy County to have power during the mess.

One of my neighbors told me that one of his friends drove by while the electrical was out and saw my porch light burning. His friend said he was upset because of it.

I told him to tell his friend to invest in a standby generator, it is worth it. Mine has repaid me many times over for the cost of $4,000, which included the instillation, automatic switching unit, and wiring in.

They are cheaper now than when I bought mine over 5 years ago.

The power was restored out on the mountain, about 3 weeks after it was restored in town. Now, the clean up, that is going to take a while. It will take many years for the area to recover from the storm and the reminders will be evident as one looks out over the destroyed trees.

Be well;
