Candles can be another source of light if you don't have a battery powered lantern. Just have to remember that people used to live without all the modern conveniences on a regular basis.Guess we can survive for a few days. Maybe? ;) When we are without electricity we use our propane stove for cooking, heating water if we need it and even taking off the chill of the kitchen if it happens in the winter.

We almost never lose power where I live, so I'm woefully unprepared. I'll have to give some thought to your tips and what I need to buy. This is a great and very useful post.

I never would have thought about most of those. Interesting about the freezer/fridge things - I wouldn't have thought it would make much difference, but now I know better!

We lost power for three days after an ice storm in the middle of February a few years ago. Fortunately we have a fireplace and were able to keep the house around 50 degrees so none of our pipes burst, also we have a gas range (electric oven) and a gas water heater - we were much better off than most of our neighbors.
