Yes, there was Hurricane Sandy a couple years ago.
Wiped out NYC and NJ, as you mention. I'm not sure
it improved much, they probably rebuilt the same
type of construction. Did you want the trick birthday
candles that can't be blown out?

Na, we have wood burning stoves where we burn all the debris that the wind carried down South from the storms up North. ^_^

A few people up nawth have wood burning devices.
Even fewer have backup light and heat for the home.
We pretty much huddle under blankets and freeze

Many people in Alabamastan have backup generators that run on natural gas which is widely available here. I must wonder if it's because the adoption and infrastructure for natural gas is so much newer than that for heating oil? It's like in developing nations where cellphones are more common because there is no copper wire communications network that's been in existence for so many years. o_O
