Default Preparing for Power Outages?

In article , Logan Shaw wrote:

When I lived in California (the Bay Area, specifically), we had a
power outage that lasted well over 48 hours because of a "storm".
In this "storm", the winds got up to a whopping 20 miles/hour, and
we received maybe 2 inches of rain in a 24-hour period.


I experienced the same thing -- probably not the same storm
though! In any case, living without power for 48 hours
is really quite miserable.

I just got up early, went to the office and shaved and
showered there. Worked late, ate out and went home to
sleep.

Home really was nothing more than a place to sleep.

Now that I work at home and have three kids, it would
suck very much indeed!
