We got nailed hard by a big ice storm in the northeast. I have been out of power for almost 2 days now. I have a generator but no hot water (oil). We are doing the best we can, I actually feel fortunate enough that we have a generator. There are people out there with no generator and the temps are suppose to get into the single digits tonight. I am hoping we get our power back soon..
I lived in Florida from 2002 - 2008 I have been through my fair share of hurricanes as well. You didn't have to worry about heat, but had to worry about food spoiling. In this case its reversed lol. But in either case water is key! Lol
