Being without power for a minute gave you a scare? What are you going to do when SHTF and there’s no power at all?
I haven’t had power for a few hours now, but that’s okay. Just reading and sometimes Freeping by candlelight. The upstairs zone of my air-conditioning system has been pretty expensively broken for the past few years so I never use the air, and while today was no fun, it wasn’t hell.
Everybody has snarky things to say about preppers, but when there’s a problem we’re perfectly happy.

In hot humid weather like this find another place to stay
I would think that a prepper would have a generator and a portable air conditioner.
Imagine hauling tail home on a Harley with the sky going off like fireworks from Hell....LOL
The wind was nearly blowing my skinny butt off the bike and we got home before it *really* hit.
I got inside just in time to hear the dreaded emergency tone and the creepy-echo-voice announcement of impending tornadoes, hail and 80 mph winds.
Sure enough , shortly after, the lights went out.
So, I watched a movie on my laptop and then started to read a great book I found, “The Lore Of Dogs” and was about 2 chapters in when they came back on.
The cool breeze through the open windows was wonderful and the pitch black night interrupted only by lightning and fireflies was very “Bradbury”.
Turned off the Coleman lantern, blew out the candle and popped in here.
I might go back out and watch the fireflies some more if the rain’s stopped.
