Yeah, I've been through a few "disasters" in my lifetime and growing older has only made me more cautious, so I prepare ahead of time.

I've got books and emergency flashlights, so I'm good. I used to go camping all the time, so being without electricity is something I can easily adapt to.

2 days is piss-ant. I live in New Zealand, and a mate of mine who works as a fire fighter in Christchurch had to deal without power at his house and his station for a little over three months. Not to mention the entire region is still being hit with random earthquakes.

My dorm is both on the city's power grid and has its own substantial backup generator just in case. But god help us if both of those get fucked up.

Hahahaha 1 day.

With the earthquake last year ( March 2010, Chile) I was left without power for over a WEEK, so 1 day is nothing.
I remember that. We felt some aftershocks here from that earthquake. It tore up my street since it didn't have much maintenance on it.

Would you be prepared if there were a massive power outage and the power wouldn't be able to come back on for at least a day or two?
I ask this after what happened in my county, San Diego county, where we lost power at 4 pm yesterday and it didn't come back on until 12 this morning. I was surprised at how many people that I knew who weren't prepared for this outage.
Read. Go hang out with a friend. That's about it.

I lived with that for half of my life. Stupid power surges tripping the only substation on my grid...

The worst part is, that due to poor manage government there are still people in the south ( closer to the epicenter( I think it's spelled like that), Who are still living in the streets/shelter/premade Houses.

That's terrible. I mean we were able to "fix" our street. I say fix that way because our city only fixed the street because we threatened to sue them by lying about my grandfather breaking his leg. It took 3 months though for them to fix it.
