Power has been out since yesterday at about 3pm. We have to go home to make sure the sump pump does not overflow. The battery for the battery backup sump pump died a week ago and I did not get to change it out yet. Got the battery from Sears went home at about 3:30pm.
The battery backup system needed a "kick" start as it has not been used from a few years. We were lucky that we have a generator and emergency power grid. I just need to fill it up with gas every 6-8 hours. Very nice to be the only house in the neighborhood who has power. We invited Tawei and Matt's family over but only tawei's wife and 3 months old Anica came. Matt just needed a jump start to his sump pump before going to a hotel for the night.
We all had a good and warm night at home.
Since we have a finish basement, Chia and Anica were able to stay in the basement the whole night without interruption from us.
Power will not be available until mid-night, according to DTE.
