Without electric for an extended period of time is tough. I guess my dad's insanity of the 5 kerosene heaters and 10 gallons of kerosene isnt too crazy. When our power is out longer then say a day, our pump loses its prime, as the check valve probably ought to be replaced. When that happens its a pita to prime it, as the 34 year old pump isnt to akeen to pumping air, so water must be fed into the suction line to get her going. We have 5 gallons of water as a backup, but after sitting years its barely fit for repriming the pump much less drinking. That is the ONLY advantage of city water.
Olds seems to be a smart guy and I'm sure he'll get along. He did a good thing by having his folks go to a shelter. I know the first thing I would do in the event of an outage over a few hours is checkup on grandma.
Glad to hear its getting up in the 40s today, with luck he wont have moany broken lines.
