Electrical

So, our entire city (pop. 5500) lost power for about 10 hours last Thursday.

Thankfully, it was caused by a storm which lowered the temperature from triple digits down into the 80s. I was out of town for work, so I couldn't tend to my tank (10 gallons). I was quite fearful as bad things happen quickly in small tanks.

I have a battery powered air pump, but it doesn't work well when I'm not there to turn it on. I had my wife stir the tank regularly until I got home Thursday ...
