RE: Ulog 169: Snow Flies... Store Shelves Empty Out
We didn't stock up on much of anything, but we got hit a lot less than the South East portion of the state did. We have a bunch of stuff in our freezer that we could ration for as long as we needed to. Water might be a problem if the city water stopped flowing. Power would potentially be the biggest thing. Especially now that we moved our trailer back to my parents house for the Winter. If that were still on property we would be fine. I once read a story about an EMP knocking out the power grid in the US and that really got me thinking about what my plan would be should something like that ever happen.
Were you effected by the big blackout of 2003? I remember it effected about 8 states and millions and millions of people? I know my parents, who lived in the Metro D area were, whereas we were too far north and luckily had power.
The power was out for some for like four days.
Yes, I think that does sound familiar. I am not sure where I would have been living at that time though. You've got me counting on my fingers now :)
