I lived in Toronto during a 4 day blackout in August 2003. I was 6 months pregnant, lived in an apartment building (still do, but a different one) and it was hotter than hell. Now I make sure I have at least 3 working fans, flashlights, candles, canned goods, and a full tank of propane for the barbeque.
I'm also terrified of blowing a tire on the highway and being stranded waiting for a towtruck, so I always have a good jack and stand with a spare tire and extra tools.
