104. My wife and I talked about going electric...

Now we have a gas water heater and gas furnace. And we have a fireplace with an ample supply of firewood. The only thing I worry about are the seemingly increasing occurrences of electrical power outages that have plagued KC in recent years. The most recent was a microburst a couple months ago that took down power lines and left us without power for 36 hours. Although we didn't have electricity, we did have hot water at least (coffee, hot chocolate, soup, baths, etc.). I'm just afraid if we went all-electric, we wouldn't have anything during these power outages.

I could just be parnoid, though...
