Down here in hurricane country, I bought a treadle machine for the same reason. I have a couple of the As Seen On TV Boston Lanterns and a battery powered fan, and I am prepared to sew.
I am Nanna, too.
And if you see any electric company trucks with the name "Centerpoint" on them, they're from Houston. Give the guys a wave and a thanks for coming to help your power company. When the Gulf Coast was out of power because of the last hurricane, we had linemen from other parts of the country come to help us get our power back.
