My power went out for hours today,but I had telephone service. I disconnected the cordless phone,and connected a old phone with a cord,and no battery so I could make a call.
I had light,radio,and a advanced Catalytic Combustion Coleman Portable propane heater that was made to be able to be used indoors. This was my first attempt to use that heater today,and it worked. I've had it in storage for about 6,or 7 years. I had eight little cylinders of propane,and only used 1/2 of one.
The power is still on,thank goodness. BF
PS I had my carbon monoxide detector behind my head.
