We just had a ice storm and I had no electricity for 22 hours. I
was mostly unprepared and didn't like the experience at all.

What are you doing to prepare for this?

Thanks.


I have a couple of battery-powered fluorescent lights,more LED
flashlights,a charcoal grill for cooking.

If you have a home,you could get a generator,couple of KW at least,and
keep some gasoline on hand to run it.That will keep your fridge cold
and food unspoiled,run a TV/radio,fans in hot weather.You need a big
generator to run AC or heating,and then a power transfer box is best
and safest to couple the gen to your home wiring.

I live in an apartment,so there are some things I can't do.


I forgot to add that a propane camping stove or gas grill would be very
useful.
