Better invest in some generators, I would say. We only lost power 2 days last year, I spent a week in Chicago at SFS last January, we thought it was cold here! My businesses are a housecleaning service with 30 fulltime cleaners - but our clients dont want us there when the kids are home from school much less couldnt see to clean without power - 2 retail stores, only retailers busy in ice in grocery store, convenience stores and home depot/lowes - and our carpet cleaning business which only caters to high end residential and businesses, they reschedule. I do a little water damage but dont really go after it. I like my sleep! Good luck, seems to be getting worse
