Depending on where you are, clean out your fridge. Prepare for FEMA.

I once was without power for 32 days due to a blizzard, and boy was it cold.

Don't run generators in your house, you'll die.

Empty your fridge and put the food in containers OUTSIDE where it is - 20 degrees out.

Don't try to drive in your FWD car with bald tires.

Make igloos.

Hope this helps.

Don't open your fridge, let it stay cool as long as possible and hopefully power comes back

Candles, reading, crosswords, art, music, outdoor activities, go

What the gently caress it is like 70 degrees here, chillin on the covered patio watching the rain and posting on GBS. Only reason to open the fridge is to get a beer.

It is very windy and thunder is loud.

This actually sounds like a nice day. I kayak to a little island and listen to the radio, drink beers and phone post on days off.

It happens at least once a year in houston, I think this is the third time in 2014. gently caress centerpoint energy, they have app to track outages. I lost power for 18 hours once because of rain and wind.

1. Bring your gas grill inside.
2. Close all your windows.
3. Cook all the food in your fridge
