We’re ready. Got extra propane tanks (gas grill sized) for our propane heater. Got oil lamps and lamp oil. Got canned food and a gas stove so we can still cook. We got water. And the most important thing; We got COFFEE - and a way to make it sans electric coffee maker! We’re good to go!

(Sobbing) we cannot make coffee here. Electric range. No generator. If I ever move, I want a gas stove (and double wall ovens:) I dream big! Told DH we need 2nd propane tank for grill. He rolled his eyes. I’ll pick one up tomorrow. The other stuff will “get us by.” Sigh.

Longest we ever went w/o power was five days (Mothers Day micro burst). No coffee, no hair dryer, computer or TV. It was warm. Everything spoiled. But because it was warm we could sleep, shower—make do. This time, I’m “using” up refrigerator things as best as possible...just incase.
