I have a 1500W power inverter in my Jeep. Great for running a few things in an emergency.

...1500W power inverter in my Jeep...yes I've bought a 2500W inverter since then to run off a marine battery or in an extended outage off of the car battery - but the problem wasn't the power supply so much as the radio stations, at least the ones we were picking up, which apparently hadn't gotten the message that they were supposed to be keeping the public fully informed about the progress of the storm - at least with an inverter and rabbit ears we should be able to pick up local TV, which seems to thrive on detailed coverage of even minimal weather events.....
