Woke up ut dark o'clock. Thunder and lightning. The electric went off. Very heavy rain, like river out the front of the house. Now able to use internet as the lecci is back on.
Having a Gas Hob proved it's worth this morning, as when the electricity went off, we just boiled water on the Gas Hob to make the morning coffee. If we had an Electric hob we would have been in for a LOOOOOng wait for the electricity to be restored.
Like you, Lincoln, we have a gas hob. When we had our solar panels installed we were tempted to go all electric. Now glad that we didn't. There have been times in the past when our power cuts have been long. Having the hob meant we could boil a kettle and cook a meal......
I still have an old gas cooker in full working order. It has proved its worth too numerous times to count now throughout electricity outages, Wouldn't be without it.
