 -=> Quoting Mike Roberts to Richard Webb on 10-27-12 23:07 <=- > You've got easy to prepare foods and other than electric to > cook on I hope, even if it's a charcoal grill, and a battery or crank up > broadcast radio I hope. MR> I have some canned goods, I can eat cold if I have to. Stocked up MR> some otherstuff a bit and should be ok, And I do have a charcoal grill MR> but not to surehow that would stand up while the winds are here, but MR> afterwards, should befine. And I have a Bay-Gen radio with the crank MR> and light on it. I also have awood stove that kept us warm during the MR> ice storm, so It could do it again Isuppose, And about 1 cord of wood. You are probably more prepared than we are, then... But we do have canned goods that are fine cold if need be, and battery operated radios. Should still have an oil lamp or two, too, although I brought most of those up to the Pond, where power outages happen all the time, not just with storms... ;0 We do have blankets... no wood stove, though. MR> So if worse comes to worse, I think we arefine in that respect, we can MR> tough it out. The flooding and or trees falling onthe house are the MR> things that bother me the most. We shall see, Richard. We're in a pretty good spot, flooding wise, not likely at all here. And I'm not too worried about trees falling here, most aren't likely to reach this house. Even with the Ice Storm, we didn't have any on the house, just branches all over the yard... |
