Earth Hour is a good time to test out your power failure preps.
This year it is just about five weeks away. March 25th.
The last time I practiced, it was just my one grandson and I at home.
I told him I was going to throw the main circuit breaker OFF in the panel, and we would practice being without power for an hour.
He asked, "Can I watch the end of this TV show first? "
Sure.
"OK now I'm going to turn off the power."
With that the emergency power outage lights came on.
He got up, walked to my bedroom, and grabbed a flashlight.
Went to his bedroom, and tail stood it, changed into his PJs, and went to bed!
