Thankfully no. In '93 we had a huge ice storm. It was 1 month before we got power back. We were taking food and burying it in ice outside to keep it from spoiling. We still have a set of light bulbs rigged up to run off the truck battery just in case. Stay warm and hope they get the juice on soon for ya.

Lol. Then u go out and get cold. When u get home it's still cold. If u got a couple old headlights out of a car u can hook em to a battery for lights. Just swap it out with the one in the truck from time to time to keep charged. I know when it happend to us I learned to rise and fall with the chickens.

Your heat still works right? I got a couple little lights from TSC at the register that have a magnet and a hook. They put out pretty good light and were only $3 each. I laid one down shining at the ceiling and it lit the room up.

   lol dang boy's don't guess ya'll was in the boy scouts  , be prepared lol  when the power goes out on me i just go to the garage and break out the colemans lanterns and stove . i allways keep the old origanal fuel on hand . i guess that comes from living in waxahachie and when a good heavy fog would nock out the lights  . but i am looking for a generator now due to mom needing her breathing equipment  . but these king of events makes you have some respect for our great grandparents  lol .  what was every day life to them is purt near impossible for us  .
