Falling trees can be dangerous and messy. Glad Jovi was inside when it happened.

Then the power outage last night, good thing you had the generator or it would have been a long night. Sounds like you might have to practice with it more often so you don't forget how to use it again. lol

That secondary sump pump working off the sprinkler pressure was a great move and sure paid off for you. And it was kind to help out your neighbor in his time of need. I'm kind of surprised he didn't have a generator already, I do and the power doesn't go out here much. But in a big quake all bets are off! I probably need to review how to use mine as well come to think of it! lol

Glad you were safe from the storm and power outage last night. Those underground cables will make things much more reliable. We have them here which is really nice!
