Err.. let's not be hasty.
Even when Ed was looking straight down the gun barrel of Death, his modesty would not allow him to accept the Martyr's Crown he so richly deserved! (Of course, I speak of him in the past tense, as he is almost certainly deceased, in fact torn to pieces by the Evil Winds of Satan, by now.) Ed, your heroics in the face of utter obliteration will never be forgotten!
Judging by the size of the plate transformers, which I take to be about 500 watts capacity, once that gets through all that lovely class A and AB circuitry, the individual outputs are about...100 to 150 watts.
Asleep by 10. Damage = one downspout ripped off and one unlatched and previously broken screen door ripped off.
Windy and wet here now. No power.
Need coffee. Gotta see if I can conjure up an inverter.
Hows gnome?

I don't do ballads, and Haiku is so cliche, how about a limerick?
There once was a man from Myakka
Who had lots of guns with More Dakka
He rode out the storm
And kept puppies quite warm
and didn't act like a chicken going "bakka bakka"
(That last line was the best I could do on short notice)
I remember this old guy in Florida
Living in a house full of esoterica
A storm came in the night
And they had a great fight
But he drowned having sold his gondola

I live to hell and gone. I doubt they can find me.
Thing is that I think a breaker tripped on my transformer so it requires a visit. Got notified that I had power but it was power to the transformer, not thru it, if you get the distinction. I re-reported it.

That's a heat issue. Put your circuit breaker in the freezer and try again.
