    Stay safe hopefully it misses you . Try and get an all in one gas ring which runs on little tins of gas. Then if the mains go off you can have a hot drink are a one pot meal to warm on. Take care 🙏🏻

      @pamelamorris3654 no phone, electric or water Pam, power cables are on the road outside. Lots of trees down blocking the road, and my green polytunnel has a tree over it. A farmer checked in on us and cleared a part so we could get out. The good side is we have the stove and generator , and we can't believe that the telegraph pole is down, but we have WiFi. We charge the power banks from the generator so the WiFi router is plugged into that . So pleased that it wasn't so bad up in Wexford. The bedroom lit up during the night it must have been when the electricity cable broke xx

    I just found your channel, and hope all went well for you. I am from Southampton, and moved to Ireland 9 years ago, to do pretty much the same thing. Each storm has made me better at realising what is important, water being a huge one. I have a well system and when power goes, so does the water, although I am sure an electrician could do something about it with a generator. My Ecoflow batteries run my freezer and charge my phones, and I lose my main fire as it is connected to the radiators, but have a log burner in the bedroom. Without that it would be a very hard experience, and I can heat up some tinned food on it. I got away mostly with it, although one shed has been partly destroyed, and another damaged a bit. Good luck, and all the best.

    • @thegonepotties
      @thegonepotties  4 дня назад

      Lovely to meet you, you've got it sorted 👍
      We have a logburner without the back boiler in two rooms so keeping warm is OK.
      The water like you say is a problem . We need to invest in another ecoflow then it will be much better.
      Have you got power back yet ? We're day 9 with none.

      @tribeoflight-ireland868 4 дня назад

      @thegonepotties Luckily, our power came back on Tuesday evening, it was pushed back a couple of times. Lovely to meet you too by the way. We don't have it sorted, but this time, we were more prepared with food, tins and even a Pot Noodle on one day. For me, getting water flowing would be my next big thing, and one day getting a car again. I am in the South of County Sligo.
