I went through a si...I'm so glad you are okay. I went through a similar episode when we had the ice storm down here a few years back. I went 8 days without power and I'm old! LOL! The bad part was I had been sold green wood so I couldn't get a good fire going. I had no generator or heat of any kind. Now, I am better prepared. I'm not into generators but I have good wood now and I bought tension rods to hang in the doorways to hang blankets to keep the heat from the fireplace in one room. I have lots of battery operated candles, hand crank lights and radio. I also found some wonderful "camp" led lights to hang that really light up an area (Wal-mart). I used to criticize my Dad because he never planted many trees in the yard where I live now but during the ice storm I was very grateful as many people had damage to their homes, cars, etc. because there are so many trees here in AR. I got a book at Lowes afterwards about being prepared for "disasters" as they seem to be so common today.<br />I live alone and many elderly here died because they couldn't get to them for all the trees down. I stayed in bed a lot under lots of covers! It was scary because no one came to help at all. Only electric people from all over but there was no food, no gas, no water...nothing was ever was brought in and no one ever came and checked on me. The one nice thing was the Eagles Club in town got electric first and they cooked and gave people meals for free and hot coffee and breakfast and that was wonderful and they had heat! <br />I didn't realize you were in NJ...I have been praying for all of you and will continue as it is very scary! I'm so glad you have your family there to deal with it all together. Thanks for posting even during your trials! God Bless you all!
