we stay prepared
We got hit by 3 in 2004, Charlie being the worst. One thing I have in my hurricane supplies is a flashlight that operates by turning a crank. If it takes a few days to get out, chances are that your batteries have run out. Now, if only they would make a pedal-operated air conditioner, I'd be svelte!
Now that tv is all hi-def and such, I am surprised that battery operated tvs are no longer available. I know without the electrically-powered adapter box, I could not get any signals since the changeover.
