[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 541712, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]Having lived through a major hurricane about 10 years and being without power for almost 2 weeks, I've learned the importance of storm preparedness! Additionally, I live in the original suburb of my city (within city limits) in a neighborhood with tons and tons of old, large trees and above ground power lines. Ice storms, heavy/wet snow, strong winds, lightening = no power for us. We have gotten to be experts on surviving without power. We were without power for two days last week due to a freaky fast moving thunder storm Monday afternoon. We have a storm box that is kept on our first floor. It's a large plastic storage bin and contains batteries, wind up alarm clock, transistor radio, small b&w battery tv, two "no battery" flashlights (shake them), tap lights, two regular flashlights, lamp oil, matches, and water. When the kids were younger, I used to keep those fluorescent sticks that you "break" and they glow for a few hours so they could have them on their bedside tables at night. It is standard practice to check/replace batteries and water (as insane said, it's not something can be stored indefinitely) in June and December. We are always prepared!
