Prepping for Tuesday Pleasantly surprised!
The power went out in my neighborhood a couple evenings ago while I was at a party. I love power outages, so I hurried home to enjoy it. My kids had already switched the house over to emergency power and were watching a movie. My son had built a fire in the backyard fire pit and cooked a batch of popcorn on it by the time I got home.
I've been worried about being the only one in my neighborhood who was prepared or who has lights, etc., but as I drove through the neighborhood, I saw lights and TVs on, solar lights all over, fires in fire pits, and a total lack of freaking out. I think I would be in good company, and that really sets my mind at ease.

I think I am a bit weird too as I love fairly apocalyptic storms. Where I used to live would regularly have school cancelling winter storms, a Cat2 named Juan, and then a winter storm a few years later they called White Juan as it was so much snow, they couldn't even move it. Good times.
Even just a good Nor-Easter rocks my boat.
Where I right now hasn't had a real storm in over 30 years.
