When a big wind storm hits, or an earthquake knocks out the electricity, or ice builds up on power lines and tears them down, or some other type of disaster disables the power grid, here are some of the things that can be learned after seven days without electricity. It’s supposed to be “tongue in cheek” so it’s okay to smile, but I’d really like you to take it serious enough to get prepared.
Coffee and frozen pizzas can be made on a BBQ grill.
No matter how many times you flick the switch, lights don't work without electricity.

Disaster Math 101: Thirty days in month, minus 6 days without power equals 30% higher electric bill — how does that work?????
