I'm sure most of you have heard (if not experienced) the bad ice storm that we just got hit with up in New England. It caused well over 300,000 power outages locally, fortunately I was not one of them. My boss at work was though and she lost all of her fish. She lives in the country so it didn't take long for the temperature in the house to drop which of course caused the water to drop. Those poor fish didn't stand a chance.
Seeing what she's going through now (she could be w/out power until Christmas if not later) really has me nervous. We don't have a generator so if we lose power the lives of my fish would be in jeopardy! I'd hate to lose all of my fish, but I don't have any clue on what I should do. The only idea I could think of would be to buy several 5 gallon buckets and small heaters and bring them to someone else's house who has power.
Are there any other options? How would you handle a situation like this?
