Power outages all over the place

Trouble is here in Ohio the sun shines about two days a month in winter. I built a solar air heater many years ago for our old house, 4 x 16 heat panel, put out 85 to 100+ degree heat for 4 or 5 hours on a bright sunny winter day, for those two or three days. Would heat the living room. Take about 50 years to pay off, if ever. The water heater is probably the way to go economically. Use year around.

They got power restored in town. But, we don't get power from town. Ours comes from the town on the opposite side. Which is about 20 miles away. And there's probably 20 places between here and there, where trees have fallen and broken either the lines or the poles. So it's gonna still be a while before we electricity. UHG!!!!!
Someone ran over the water hose and now I can't use it for warm showers. Double UHG!!!!!!!!
