After reading kuyamark's thread, I wish there was something that I could have done to help him minimize his loss. I could loan him my inverter or hold the most valuable livestock he has for him for a few hours or few days. If there was a way for him to contact me or someone else on MR in the area, I am sure someone wil be happy to help. So, for those in the westchester area, you can PM me your contact number and I will organize it according to geographic location and send it out. But don't just save it on your computer b/c you know why!! (No power, no computer)
Print it out and put it where you can find it in case of a blackout or other emergency.
I know it has been done before, but not locally. Jhale, if you have any input, LMK.
