RE: Are you prepared for a life without power?

- No power is a huge problem
In recent years we've had a couple hurricanes make their way up the easy coast & actually made an impact all the way up in NY and further north. Sandy & Irene were the worst storms. Our power was out for 8 days during one, & 11 after the other storm hit. It was definitely a pain to not have power, but was liveable. Gas stations weren't able to pump gas for such a long time, which created a problem. The cold showers were pretty shitty to have to deal with as well.
You have experiences with it so I guess you are in some way prepared.
I am not a fan of cold showers either. I think I would skip them or heated up some water on the stove or in the sun or put a bucket of water in the car so it gets a bit warm.
I wonder how you did the laundry.
Unfortunately, here no power means no water either. Perhaps if it took days I stopped cooking/eating at home, go to a hotel for a warm bed and water or I stay in bed and sleep more.
I do not watch tv so I won't miss that which is a plus.
Thank you for your site and for sharing your story/experiences.
I hope it won't happen again and you stay safe. 💕
