If you have a laptop computer make sure it is charged up - you'll have at least 2 hours battery life and can get to the internet thru dial up if the power is out but the phones still work.
And make sure you have a cheap regular phone, not a cordless. No need for power.
Leave it to a FReeper to want updates on the LIVE thread. LOL.
Don't forget charcoal and/or Coleman stove supplies. On day 3 of power outage, you might as well fire up the smoker and grill. Everything is melting in the freezer and has to be used up. Better enjoy it!
