Overall, I was in pretty good shape. Food, water, lights, entertainment for kids were all good. Did need a few more batteries and one of my lamps was on the way out. Also found out I was 6 feet shorter on extension cord than I thought! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> Did need oil for the generator too, although I wasn't at a critical point.

I thought it was funny I had ordered a bunch of freeze dreid food that had a UPS shipping point via...New Jersey! As I tracked it I saw it got stuck on the Jersey shore! yeeesh! Our survival food got stuck in a disaster! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

My big weak link was communication. I don't like cell phones and wife got me one like 6 months ago..I leave it uncharged, w/out money and lost the recharger for like two months. With the storm coming and my better half going to Cali, I recharged it and she put some money on it. Come to find out, I used it so little the company gave the number to someone else!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> Wifey was blowing up someone's phone who yelled at her "stop calling this number!" and leaving us out of touch. ooopppss...

I have good people next door and we helped each other out as well.
