How TF informed my post Sandy experience

Just wanted to let you all know that while I'm not a boat owner, many of the things I've learned while reading TF, have helped me in my 5 days (so far) of no power post Sandy. Things like alternating watch hours between my wife and I during the height of the storm, to Generator power management/maintenance , to just the new daily routine of getting up at first light, starting the generator for few hours of hot coffee, heat and communication, to cooking on a propane camp stove (and safety rules with that since I'm using a 20 lb tank and adapter from Coleman.). To sitting and reading by the window, and getting together in our house, since we have heat, for dinner and some wine with all the neighbors we can fit. It may be while before we have a boat now, as the jersey shore areas rebuild, but I wanted to say thanks to all who've contributed their experiences to this forum. - scarlet bison
