I've been thinking about something, after seeing another report from Houston...

What do you all have for power outages, bad weather or such?

Lights, entertainment, food storage?

I have battery-powered lights, a few candles, my fridge stays cold, I cook on a gas stove and have gas heat, I can watch DVD's on my battery-powered laptop if needed, I have a hand-cranked radio with it's own flashlight, and several good flashlights.

1. It does not matter for 2 years, no Game of Thrones, let it all go to hell

Sorry, it is Sunday......

I got a really good deal on Milano cookies. Enough to last a week.

3. LOL.... GOT is Life! LOL

But, my pantry has at least six weeks worth of canned goods, peanut butter, heat and serve meals (like tasty bites lentils), powdered milk....enough for multiple people.

I have water filtration units, outdoor grill, indoor butane grill (with enough canisters to last a couple of weeks).
Gas fireplace and gas heat...Battery operated fans, solar charger for small electronics, wind-up radio with charging capacity. wind up and solar rechargeable flashlights... and a very warm furry girl if it is cold out...LOL

No generator, but I'd get by.

2. We live in a place that has power outages already, so we are somewhat prepared.

7. We do, too. Two generators, batteries, weather radio, outdoor grill, cars always full of gas.

And we always have enough food for an army.

4. I have two generators that will take care of loss of power. n/t

5. Various.

Some batteries, but after a week we'd probably run short of those. Some candles.

Propane camp stove for cooking and boiling water, with lots of extra canisters. During Ike we had bacon, pancakes and eggs for breakfast and a chicken curry for dinner with basmati for dinner.

The stand-alone freezer would keep things frozen for days while we emptied the fridge and that smaller freezer compartment.

Heat's not a problem. After the hurricanes I've been through the temperature drops to reasonable levels, so there's that.

For entertainment we have cards, board games. Lots of books for reading. And various stringed instruments that we play.

My area sometimes loses power if it gets cloudy. In the last week and a half we lost power for less than a second, the kind of thing if you blink at the right time you would miss.

6. I keep candles and many small flashlights, because bad storms in Kansas frequently knock out

our electricity. I have a couple of big flashlights, too, but I keep a whole bunch of cheap little ones (plus batteries) scattered all over the apartment, so that no matter where I am when the power goes out at night, I can quickly grab a flashlight.

8. We have at least 90 days worth of food

My wife got into food prepping a few years ago. She constantly upgrades our stock.
We also have several ways of cooking too.

One thing she's found recently is that Amazon batteries are much cheaper especially if you have Prime.
