I'm going to beef up my emergency supplies, based on this experience.
- a cooler that works more than 2 days
- a decent battery-operated lantern (prob LL Bean)
- one of those red cross water bags you can put in the tub and fill with water for any purpose.
But I tell ya, we were so lucky with the weather. Would have been horrifying if it was 95 and humid or freezing cold in a snowstorm. Really would like solar here....
Reflecting, too, on our troops overseas, they put up with 100+ degree weather in full gear....
