Glad to know I am not the only one who is prepared for bad times.
During the last ice storm we were without power for four days. I lit oil lamps and lanterns I haven’t used in 25 years.
I do not have generators as they have a tendency to walk off when you are not around to watch them or keep them locked up.
There is something refreshing about stepping outside and not hearing traffic, trains or any other noise during ice storms. Just complete silence except for tree limbs breaking and crashing down.

I can relate to that. The morning after Katrina hit, I opened my front door and the water was to my porch. No one was in sight. When my son and I would talk to each other you could almost hear an echo it was so quiet. I could see the stars at night for the first time in years. Frankly, it irritated me when people started to return. I had the land and the streets to myself and I liked it. Then, back to reality.
