Living here in Hawaii, we have Hurricanes to worry about. About 10 years ago a Hurricane came in sweeping through the island of Kauai wiping out all of their power and water for weeks. Needless to say, I felt very sorry for these unfortunate people. An occasional blackout would be welcomed by all of us here but, 3 weeks is a long damn time. I was perusing a local news site, and came across their Hurricane Survival Checklist.

I think that their take on flashlights is kind of weak. They should really go into led lights and the extended battery life, incandescents for throw and what not. All they say is, "Battery-operated radio, flashlights, non-electric can opener, extra batteries" I give em credit for saying flashlights though, implying that you need more than one. In any case what kinds of flashlights would you have on hand in case of natural disaster?
I figure for me, I would like to have-
A crap load of batteries
Infinities for run time
Attitude for slightly more brightness
My Arc LS for more brightness
My TL-2 Led and Xenon for throw
Surge for backup brightness
Lightwave 4000 for long term brightness
...Come to think of it I'd like to have all my lights on hand. Just in terms of sheer versatility, having so many different lights provides us with so many options.
