 MR> I have some canned goods, I can eat cold if I have to.  Stocked up

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...    But, yes, we shall see..
