Learning how to correctly hook up a generator to your home should be a core component of your emergency preparedness plans. It is sad to say but having power at your house is taken for granted by millions of people every day. And the cold hard truth is that one power outage could have you on your knees after a day or two.

My wife and I have been through 3 bad power outages in the past 5 or 6 years. And let me tell you this they were not quick outages. They lasted between 5 10 days.

The first one we had to endure without a generator .

The second time we had a generator but ran an extension cord.

Subsequently, during the last outage, we ran a generator to our home. As a result, it was like we didnt even have an outage.

Having a generator installed into your home isnt cheap but it can be done the right way by yourself.

The article I am sharing with you today shows you the correct way to hook up a generator to your home. Always remember to have your work checked by a qualified electrician before you run the generator.

Woman arrested on suspicion of murder after death of two children in Stafford

A 43-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of two children in Stafford.

Police were called to a home on Corporation Street at around 7.30am on Sunday by West Midlands Ambulance Service.

Two children were pronounced dead at the scene, Staffordshire Police said.

Detective Inspector Kirsty Oldfield said: “We are working hard to understand more about what happened leading up to these two children tragically losing their lives.

“We ask that people do not speculate at this stage as it is distressing for family and friends and could hinder our inquiries.

“We understand that this incident may cause concern in the local community. We don’t believe there is wider threat to the public at this time.”

The 43-year-old woman, who is from the Stafford area, remains in custody.

The force has not confirmed the ages of the two children. Their next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers, police said.
