Life What are your hacks when the electricity goes out

This is why I moved to town.

And yes the wind is a cokcsucker. Did you get any moisture to hang on the power lines or did it blow a pole over or something?

If you have NG service, dad installed a gas wall heater in the basement to provide heat if out for a long time.

Grandpa talked about in the depression, they'd cook bricks over a fire (wood fire stove in their case), and put them in the beds to keep warm.

Keep the fridges closed and they'll keep food for a long time. When you open the door all the cold rushes out.

Don't get wet. I know it's appealing to go scoop the sidewalk or whatever, but it takes a LOT of heat to get you warmed back up if you manage to get wet.
