I don't have solar power, so the lights might still go out, but I still have a natural gas heater so I'm probably fine. I'm hoping we can keep the roads clear because I don't want to use PTO until I can enjoy my time off.

Natural gas furnaces still need electricity to run the blower and exhaust fans

Neat, my heater is literally a gas burner on the wall, so it will work without electricity.

The pumps for the natural gas grid won't be powered though. Now the question is if those have what I assume would be massive generators along the grid, which I doubt.
