Today I will be running around trying to find supplies such as batteries and bottled water because the weatherman is telling us we are going to get nearly a direct hit by Hurricane Sandy. Last year on October 29th, we got hit with an autumn noreaster, which dropped a foot of snow and knocked power out for weeks. This time, I'm ready ... e-reader is fully charged, as is the cell phone, car charger for cell is ready, got pleanty of wood for the fireplace, candles, books, food, canned goods, bread, water, and ... dog food (can't forget my pugs). We're ready ... except for the batteries. Am I forgetting anything?
Have you ever had to deal with a power outtage that lasted longer than a day? Have you had to survive through a natural disaster? What did you do?
