Within the past fifteen minutes, skies went from clear, sunset, to dark gray thunderclouds. Wind went from total calm to boisterous and gusty. Couple lighting bolts, thunder, HEAVY RAIN, then the electric went out. Gotta start generator to do show.
All will be well.
UPDATE 8:01 PM EDT --
Generator is connected and operating normally. Whole house has power from it.
Internet feeds ARE up and streaming.
Regular utility power is still out.
Show WILL air as usual one hour from now.
UPDATE 8:21 PM EDT --
Round 2 of tonight's T-storms has just begun. HEAVY rain, lightning, thunder. Generator working fine. House has power. Internet feeds remain up and running. Music streaming now until top of hour when show begins.
UPDATE 10:19 PM EDT --
Grid power RESTORED here. The radio show aired on schedule, in full, without incident, thanks to the emergency backup systems I installed up here at the country home (Bugout location) in Pennsylvania. Everything worked precisely as it was supposed to!
