On November 17th, 2013, a massive wind / rain storm knocked out the power to the entire Mid-Michigan area! Governor Snyder declared Shiawassee County to be in a state of emergency as we had the most people affected by the power outage, per capita, than any other county in Michigan.
The Millar family made the most of our time
without power by playing board games, cards, reading, etc. We kept warm by and cooked with a fire in the fireplace and used water collected from the pipes in the house to flush the toilet. All-in-all, we fared pretty well -
although, Jeffery and I are not pleased with the water situation. We think we could have done a better job and are evaluating how we might do better in the future.
