Power outage - food in fridge

4 hours fridge - CDC guidelines

We had two outtages here for 24 hours each.

I moved frozen items from the freezer to keep the fridge cold. This worked really well.

And I was able to eat soft Blue Bell Homemade to my hearts content.

Your mileage may vary, a lot, previous hurricane Mom and I were at the TX/LA line house because missing glass from attempted break-in. Meanwhile the residence in NELA lost power and a breaker tripped upon restoration we found out 3 days later when we got back home (while in NWLA friend doing a favor brushhogging place pulled electric down and already had to wait for glass).

We lost only a few minor items and immediately made soup out of some frozen peas/carrots that were thawed along with chicken leg quarters that were still cool but thawed. (made pizza and breakfast out of some Jimmy Dean sausage that too was thawed but cooled, and cooked then froze some hamburger also thawed but cool)

So now we're still alive and also still waiting on brick mailbox to be rebuilt where a neighbor down the street hit it during the storm around 11pm.

Summary: dental bridge from gum infection caused tooth loss, broken window break-in, electrical powerhead replaced, mailbox destroyed, some food spoilage, also burned up electric weedeater due to heavy use, yet still here and not gonna try kicking due to recent luck.

I have Some Coors in there. If the mountains aren’t blue I’m chucking the rest

You should have prepared, lower temp as low as possible and freeze case of water bottles in fridge. Will last 48 hours at least if power not back on your insurance should repay you
