Actually, I remember one serious ice storm in Arkansas where we were without power for three days. Out in the country, and water came from electric well. Being from California, and knowing all about 'be prepared', we had propane heaters, camp stove, canned goods, and books and puzzles galore, not to mention quilts.
Quickly figured out that we could melt ice on top of the heater to flush the toilet. After that, life was GOOD! Of course, this was before we had a computer.......1992. Quietest, most seriously wonderful times.....except for those people who werent' prepared, of which there were many, and complained because the repair crews weren't working 24 hrs to get the power back on......
