6 Days Without Power For The Record

What’s the longest you’ve gone without power?

If you live closer to Halifax, it might have been Hurricane Juan. I know some people who went 12 days without power.

Thankfully for those of us some distance from the city the power outages were much shorter.

Even White Juan a few months later didn’t cause that long of an outage for me.

Dorian was a bad one for many people.

The most annoying outage for me was on a calm, snow free New Years Eve when the power went out for seven hours. I still haven’t forgiven NSP for that one.

But the longest power outage I’ve experienced was the super early Hurricane Arthur in July of 2014 – 6 days and one hour. We lost a freezer full of food and that cured us of keeping a stocked freezer forever.

So, do you remember the longest you’ve been without power?
