      -=> Quoting Mike Roberts to Richard Webb on 10-27-12 23:07 <=-               > You've got easy to prepare foods and other than electric to        > cook on I hope, even if it's a charcoal grill, and a battery or crank up        > broadcast radio I hope.               MR> I have some canned goods, I can eat cold if I have to. Stocked up        MR> some otherstuff a bit and should be ok, And I do have a charcoal grill        MR> but not to surehow that would stand up while the winds are here, but        MR> afterwards, should befine. And I have a Bay-Gen radio with the crank        MR> and light on it. I also have awood stove that kept us warm during the        MR> ice storm, so It could do it again Isuppose, And about 1 cord of wood.              You are probably more prepared than we are, then... But we do have       canned goods that are fine cold if need be, and battery operated radios.       Should still have an oil lamp or two, too, although I brought most of       those up to the Pond, where power outages happen all the time, not just       with storms... ;0 We do have blankets... no wood stove, though.               MR> So if worse comes to worse, I think we arefine in that respect, we can        MR> tough it out. The flooding and or trees falling onthe house are the        MR> things that bother me the most. We shall see, Richard.              We're in a pretty good spot, flooding wise, not likely at all here. And       I'm not too worried about trees falling here, most aren't likely to       reach this house. Even with the Ice Storm, we didn't have any on the       house, just branches all over the yard... |
