The chances are very big Vader, but the Country Club has a generator, already been discussed..........with lots of worry from their side.

Sat in the dark and watched a movie. It was interesting to see the neighbors do the same.

We switched off all the power to our house. Just the electric fence, alarm and gate on battery back up was working. Started a fire in the fire place and exlained to the kids (7 & 5) what it is all about.

I went out into the street and only ONE other house had all its lights off!!

Damn East Randers, no culture! :shock:
