On Sunday, we started hearing about a major storm hitting our area (Maryland, near DC). The potential for 70 mph winds, heavy rain, hail, and even tornadoes. So, I made sure that all my EcoFlow units were topped up and ready to go, and adjusted the settings on the ones I use for UPS support from a 95% max to 100%. Finally, I connected Delta units (a D3 Plus and a D2) in UPS mode to the two sump pumps in my basement, just in case we lost power when it was raining heavily. I set an EcoFlow camping light on each level of the house, at the lowest output setting, so we'd immediately have light if we lost power. I went around to the solar panels I have hooked on railings and secured them with zip ties, and felt I was ready for the storm.

The good news is that an intense rainfall (3/4" in 20 minutes) hit a few hours before the main storm, reducing the power of the later storm; there was still heavy rain and intense winds, but less than initially predicted.

In the end, we never lost power, but having the EcoFlow units gave me wonderful peace of mind, knowing that we'd be fine if we lost power.
