Do you think could last a few days without power ect.... Well I always have candles and canned goods but I should have a better plan Like a box of stuff, When our power went out last summer for 24hrs I had my great neice and nephew and an extra dog in a small trailer it was hot hot hot. We did fine with food but we ran out of water and lucky my husband was traveling home and stopped and bought gallons of water and Ice. We were at the lake so we could go down and cool off get water for flushing ect.... #Post#: 27506-------------------------------------------------- Re: QOTD 6/6 By: SherrieScraps Date: June 6, 2013, 8:44 am --------------------------------------------------------- The power goes out here often, that's why we bought a generator right before Hurricane Floyd hit us years ago. I've used that generator quite a few times since then! What I forget is batteries for the flashlights. Generator will only run refrigerator, freezer, TV and maybe one lamp. #Post#: 27509-------------------------------------------------- Re: QOTD 6/6 By: maddawg Date: June 6, 2013, 9:07 am --------------------------------------------------------- We have a generator, but prior too, we have the pool for flushing and quicky wash downs. I always try to keep extra water on hand, and have non electric things like a can opener, coffee pot, etc. Now we have the RV so that'll be a help as well. #Post#: 27514-------------------------------------------------- Re: QOTD 6/6 By: Scrapn4me Date: June 6, 2013, 1:36 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Yep, we're ready. We have a large generator that will run the fridge, tv, computer,etc. we also stockpile food and drinks start of hurricane season. We're getting our first tropical storm starting today, TS Andrea.

We borrowed a generator at about day 3. We now own a generator. We didn't lose power during Hurricane Irene, but ds did so he was able to borrow the generator from us as their son was born during Irene & they certainly wanted power for when they brought him home from the hospital. *****************************************************
