What a PITA.
I was afraid to go to sleep, because I didn't think the freezers would last until morning. I'd just lay awake and worry about all that food thawing.
Power went out at 4pm, on again from 5 to 6 and then out until 1am.
I have temp sensors in all the fridges and freezers that have digital readouts that are all on the kitchen fridge.
All the regular freezers stayed at 22F or lower and the fridges stayed at 44F or lower. The sushi freezer stayed at 14F or lower and everything in it had already passed it's 10 day Minus four span. Not bad.
About $1,500 worth of food. No way was I gonna let that all defrost.
I was getting sleepy, so I went out to drag the generator into the front yard and run the power for an hour or so, to bring everything down to normal operating temps.
Literally, just as I was getting ready to start the generator, I saw the street lights come on at the two neighbors houses. What timing. Ha!
Well, it's 1:30am and the power has stayed on, the house is cool again and dehumidified. I can go to sleep without worry.
Goodnight all. I feel much better now. No stress. No stress. No stress...
