Two posts recently touched my heart. One person lost their ferrets from a
fire due to a lightening strike and the other from the loss of power. We
always hope our kids are secure in our homes. I'm sure you are both
devastated beyond belief.
I have worried about losing power since I found out that all my outlets are
on the same circuit breaker - and this includes the air conditioner. But I
have used this to my advantage.
I pluged my telephone answering machine into the same circuit as the source
of the cooling. I then call home a couple times a day when the weather is
hot. If the answering machine picks up, I know there is power and cooling!
It's a simple "monitor" but it gives me peace of mind.
