Surviving a Storm (using a generator)

June 7th, 2007

The clouds thicken and the thunder echoes across the lake. The trees stand out in sharp contrast to the blackening sky, and the air takes on that special quality that is the calm before the storm.

In Muskoka, storms over the lake are an amazing fireworks display. Unfortunately these storms play havoc with our power systems. Some areas are affected more than others. The islands have frequent power outages and Acton Island is referred to as “Action Island” by the hydro workers. Without hydro, basements can flood, security systems can fail, expensive food can thaw, and a holiday can become a nightmare.

One way to protect yourself against spoiled dinners plans, a melting mess in your freezer, or worse, is to purchase your own generator. An electricgenerator is a device used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Depending on the size and type of generator you purchase, you can keep a few applpiances running, or you can maintain the functioning of most of your cottage.

We have produced a Special Report which gives you all the information you need to decide which generator is right for your cottage. For your convenience, we have also included the names and telephone numbers of local locations where you can purchase generators.
