Yeah, Winds were very strong with Bob, It was was bad here too, Lost power for 10 days, At that time had no generator, Sump pumps couldn't run, 2'+ of water in the basement, Never again will that happen.
I know up here, You can go back and look at your Kwhr usage with your electric company and im sure its the same elsewhere, That's usually the telltale even with the PUC increases if your usage is higher, Your bill will be too, Running a dehumidifier consumes as much or more kilowatts then a AC window unit, I have 2 dehumidifiers the newer one is somewhat more efficient.
