From about 12:45am to 6pm today no power, Honda saved my day, switching between fridge/freezer and sump pump, which hasn't run for about 15 years or more, but after this rain, no wonder. There's still water in the ditches that are dry 99% of the time. Some spots in Barrie look like the Jolly Green Giant went on a stomping fest so many trees and branches down.

Yeah the Honda is still running its extension cord city lol. We have half the house running off it even the water is on .
They say our time to be restored is apr 1 11pm not sure if that's change . But there is flickers of life near by so it maybe sooner.

I hear with the “extension cord city”. The next time I stumble across some extra money
. I’m going to get a transfer switch installed outside the house for my Yamaha inverter.

NBeen without power, internet, since Friday afternoon. From what I’ve been told it will be April 2 nd before power is restored here. Couldn’t stand it anymore. Checked into the hotel on Scugog island at the casino for a night. Showered for about a 1/2 hr , shaved , put on some clean clothes and feel a whole lot better. Going to head home about 9:30 to reload the generator. I e got too much in the fridges and freezer . Hoping to not loose any of it.
Now I know what it must have been like years ago when they had that ice storm east of us down Ottawa way…

I can see the lights on from my bedroom window but probably won't see power for another day or 2. Had to consolidate the freezers and put the fridge food into the camper propane fridge. Been babysitting my 2 sump pumps since 3 am Sunday morning and had little to no cell service until this evening. This is getting expensive.

Power was restored here outside of Barrie lastnight. I was without power since Friday around 4:30pm. The generator was running steady. The sump pump ran about every 5 minutes. Thankfully we lost no food. I was able to run everything off my generator. Cell service and internet was pretty much non existent. I had to drive around to get signal and see what the wait times for restoration was like. All in all 2 days without wasn't bad, but I wouldn't want to go much longer than that.
