In the last 10 years we've only experienced 3 electrical power outages and all have been during the winter. We get wind storms and some are real doozies. However we also get Ice Storms that are real bad.
I've survived by using my Coleman gas lantern and my Coleman propane 2 burner stove. The power company does a really fantastic job getting the electric back on and I'm not say that because my mother used to work in the local office. Back in '68 there was one hell of a freezing rain storm. The crews from all over came to help. The power had been out for quite awhile and I walked down to the office to say hi to mom (the office ran off of a generator). The lineman were asleep on the floor behind the counter------they had been up for 3 days without sleep.
Anyway thanks to my friend and 'enabler' Joel (Benz) I am now in possession of a vintage Aladdin Lamp that I'll be restoring so I can enjoy it anytime I wish OR during a power outage. Here's some beginning pics;
