Island Property Insurance

I can tell you that power outages on the Island during the summer last a lot longer than they do on the mainland for obvious reasons. When the power goes out we usually plan for 24 hours. We keep an ice cube on a shelf in the freezer to tell if we lost power while we were gone.

I can only imagine that in the winter it gets a lot worse, especially if no one is present to report it. It must be very difficult if a tree goes down on the lines and there are no roads, no trucks and no real emergency.

I think if I wanted to spend significant time on the island in the off season, I would get a generator.
