Power Out
Hello, supporters. Yesterday, I lost power due to Ian deciding to make a stop by Jay's house. I guess he's a fan. Then, in the middle of the night, my new generator stopped working and kicked out an error code that'll require warranty service.
I'm without power, though I still have the internet through my modem/router running off one of my large camping batteries.
I can stay connected a bit, but I can't get work done. This means the update on the 5th might not have the quantity of finished pages I'd intended.
Everything else is fine and there's no damage. I'll let you know when things get back to normal.

Is everyone okay?
Yeah.
Da-yum about the generator. A hurricane is definitely not the time you want to find out about one having problems.
Stay safe!
Dont die <3
Won't!
Stay safe out there, man. Either way, I give it a week and we'll hear legends of the new king of the gators.
I'm in the loop.
Life and safety always has priority. Stay safe there.
Ok, everything is very clear. Power failure happens frequently, don't worry about it. Hope everything will be ok soon!
Looks like it's just my street. It really did come to my house.
Oh nuuuuu *huggies* be safe bud, you’ll always be on our minds
Don't huge me dude, everyone's looking.
Keep safe and stay safe !
Stay safe, man. You don’t want to pull a Wet Dorothy, and end up isekai’d in a fur ladened version of Georgia. Imagine how long the title of the novel would be…
Hell.
Ian was very inconsiderate and damn, nothing like a backup generator failing on you when you need it...
Ain't it the truth?
Stay safe and hopefully things getting well soon.
Stay safe!!
Stay safe!
GOD DAMNIT LYNNE!
Good to hear that you are Okay. Now for the bigger problem: Deciding which piece of meat in the freezer to BBQ first. Thankfully due to your “Old School” drawing skills you can remain productive and work on story lines etc. Take care.
Well now I know what state you're in and roughly where in that state you are.
This is a really weird comment bro
That sucks that you go through the trouble of being prepared, and that fault hits anyway. Glad you’re safe otherwise ^.^ art stuff can wait.
Safety over productivity. Be well Jay
We make a point to run our generator for a couple hours every quarter and make sure it's serviced regulalry even though it may not be in use. Better to find the problems when it's not needed than the other way around.
It self tests every week. It was fine for a few hours and decided not to be when I was asleep.
Stay safe and warm Jay! Oh wait sorry I'm in Canada. I guess warm isn't too much of a concern. No need to apologize nature happens. Please take care of yourself and we don't mind if there is a delay if you want to finish more pages and put it out later when you can.
No need to apologize. We appreciate the update and wish for you to stay safe.
Stay safe dude and hope you get all your power back soon
It's literally a cat4 hurricane. Take a minute. Be safe. Be well.
Just glad you're ok. Stay safe👍
Stay safe mah dude!
Hope things work out on your end, dude. Guess the universe wanted to give you a break from posting lol
The problem with more self monitoring technology is that sometimes it will make things stop working when there is no real issue. The old generators would work to the point of self destruction if whoever running it failed to notice an issue, but would not stop working due to a stupid code. The new electronic monitoring does increase efficiency though. Also, maybe the shut off was warranted due to an actual issue, but that is its own problem. Does seem like a new generator should not fail so quickly either by false error or real issue.
This is a very common sentiment....and one I've never understood. Why is continuing to work until the product destroys itself or damages the property surrounding it preferable to it locking down when there's an issue? Like, I know it's annoying for things to stop working when they look fine. But you know what else is annoying? Buying a new one when you could replace a 5 USD component...or your residence catching on fire.
No worries, glad you ok, stay safe
Can Iask what the generator was, curious to see which one died so early.
It was a Generac. Kicking back a 1902 undervoltage error after working fine for some hours.
Shit happens. Stay safe.
*shops for item to use during emergency* "Buy me! I'm made with technology(TM) that makes me work better!" *buys items. Stores for emergency* *Emergency* "LOL sorry I can't work right now better call someone" *everythingsucks.png*
Sucks you _stayed_ down, but at least you get to figure out your generator now instead of when an actually hurricane hits your side of the state. I'm still up; dodged a bullet honestly, hit south of us.
Central Floridian here as well. Thanks for the update, stay safe, and take the time you need
Be safe, the work can wait. Your safety and health come first
Stay safe! Also, remember your car can act as a (really inefficient) generator in a pinch if you REALLY need it.
Take care of yourself first! Thank you for the update!
