Yep there were people near me out of power for 8 days, 10 days. There were actually people "up a holler" out for like you say two weeks some a month !

Like you say you couldn't buy a generator or kerosene heater for a gold brick within 150 miles of my house. I have a big kerosene heater now and try and keep a few gallons handy. No generator yet but it's high on the priority list ! Thinking about putting in a propane one ?

I've had a p-38 can opener on my key ring since like 1986, don't smoke but have carrried a little bic lighter for years as well. I've had a pocket knife since I was like 12 ? And they've came in handy many, many times.
