Ok since my power flickered, here's a question! What do people do during a power outage?

eco23 said:I agree generators are ideal (along with all the other benefits )...but this is what I used when the last hurricane rolled through. They're cheap and run off D-cell batteries. It worked great for me. I'd just advise stocking up on the D batteries early...cause when a storm is about to hit the stores sell out of them quickly (I guess for flashlights).
