Sunday, a 15-minute storm hit the area, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people. Back in Feb., the snowstorm did the same (which was worse because we had snow to put up with on top of the power outage). In 2007, my home burnt down during a power outage due to someone’s misplaced candle in another unit. We also had a long outage in 2003 with Hurricane Isabel. There have been several more minor outages since.
Anyway, it’s once again time to throw out all the food in the refrigerator. Also, I can’t go to work, because the office has no power, and I can’t use the pool, because the cleaning pump isn’t working. It’s difficult to drive int he area because so many stop lights are out.
What to do, then?
I’m going to stockpile all the necessities for something major to happen, because eventually it will. So if you need any Uzis and Twinkies, I’ll be hogging them all.
