We were without electricity for 70 hours. Got power back about 12 hours ago. It is really, really dark without power. And very scarey in a big city, knowing there are people moving around and not able to see them.

First thing I am going to buy after things settle down is a pair of night-vision binoculars. I don’t ever want to be in that situation again. Being completely in the dark, and not being able to see what is going on in the dark in my neighborhood.

I probably should have a pair as well...in case I’m ever in a tornado
disaster scenario here in FlyOver Country.

There may be better sources, but here a place to start (forgive
the “hugh” URL)

“First thing I am going to buy after things settle down is a pair of night-vision binoculars.”

I’m more in favor of a large utility light. If you got a generator, you’re set.

If not a couple of heavy duty size lanterns.

Dark is good. They can’t see you either.
