House was warm. Tankless heater connected to radiant floor heating. Food in freezers and fridges seemed okay. I have gas appliances, so could cook during outages. BBQ in the back patio is always an option. The Zojirushi Hybrid is awesome. Kept water piping hot.

I'm seriously thinking of installing a whole house backup generator/inverter. Power outages that last over 8 - 10 hours, suck. Had three this year alone. What blows my mind is my whole area is out of power and my backyard neighbour has power. The block he lives on always has power. I don't think he's ever been out of power during storms. BC Hydro map shows all of North Burnaby with no power. Not him. Power to his house is not supplied undergound. It makes no sense.
