<p>LOL James, you would think so but realistically my truck usually never goes more than 6 miles from the house. I am one of those that rarely even has my cell phone in the truck. SOOO, I think I need to put together a car kit LOL</p>

<p>John, You are very likely in the top 10 percentile where car preps are concerned.</p>
<p>Jan, I'm sure you keep a lot more in your car now.</p>

<p>If this would have happened at our Flagstaff, AZ house I would have been going up and down snow covered stairs to fetch firewood. My biggest worry in this case would be the water lines freezing, it's been getting down into the twenties at night.</p>
<p>The funny part of no electricity, (funny as in odd) is when you walk into a room and automatically touch the light switch.</p>

<p>Here in Southern California very few people carry warm clothing when they leave their homes. After all it's from the house to the car, and from the car to the work place, store, restaurant or where ever they are going and no-one thinks they will be stranded in the cold. And of course no-one ever has an accident or an automobile breakdown.</p> James,

<p>James,</p>
<p>It is all relative. 50 for you is not usual and obviously no electric is not. So having those 2 things happen at once IS a good way to detect where there may be gaps in your preparations. The little inconvenience can remind you that you need more propane or gas for the generator. So good for you and sorry you did not get the chance to practice LOL</p>

<p>Well it wasn't the ice age, but....</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Southern California had some severe weather for the last few days. I know it's not as bad as many other areas of the country, but for us it was unusual. The rain and wind took out a lot of the power grid and left thousands of people without electricity.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I'm writing this on my net-book since it has a pretty long battery life. Yes my power is out, but not from the storm, from upgrades that Edison is doing to the grid in our area.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Since there is no power there is no heat, no lights and no cooking method. Ya, I know, it's So-Cal so how cold can it be? And the answer is 50 degrees. I know that some of you reading this are likely laughing and maybe thinking “well that's shorts and tee shirt weather”.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So I lit the fireplace, made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and sat down with my net-book. The coffee was already taken care of since I brew it and then put it in a Thermos. If the power is not back on by dinner time, I'll get out one or two of my butane stoves and use them to make dinner. I have battery and propane lanterns so we'll have light. The water heater is gas, so we'll have hot water and I can make coffee with a pour over coffee maker.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">It's inconvenient, but not anything like a total loss of all utilities. If it were a national or global grid down, I have enough fuel and water to last through the bad parts like people killing each other over food and other usable items.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">What a disappointment. The power just came back on. Now I won't get to practice my skills.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I was going to upload this with my Verizon MiFi, now I can just use my household network.</p> ROFLMAO....that was right al…tag:iknifecollector.com,2015-10-06:3181080:Comment:13598182015-10-06T01:04:14.040ZJan Carterhttps://iknifecollector.com/profile/JanCarter

<p>Well, I have had a chance to think on this one. It struck me as kind of funny at first. Geothermal will become HUGE in my opinion, drilling for fossil fuels would not work any longer. Those not able to find a geothermal area would almost have to become self sustaining. Earth houses would likely be another thought and yes eventually it would lead to small underground cities</p>
