We have had to use it twice now. We also store water in galloon jugs as a just in case item, which came in handy when something broke in our water lines (we are on a well) and the part wouldn’t be in stock for 4 days. With the bottled water we were still able to flush. We also had a storm come through and we lost electric for 48 hours. I have discovered the one thing we really need for electric outages and that is a cooking method as the generator can’t handle the electric stove so that is something we need to find and problem solve, although we hand plenty of food on hand that didn’t need cooked.

I am totally with you. I also leave in hurricane zone and we even just got recently hit by Hurricane IKE and it was devestating to many people. We practically survived without much damage. But it would have hit us hard, surely I don’t know where I would dug in for money.

Good and informative points.
