We all know that we should keep a flashlight around in case of emergencies. I'd like to hear from any of you that have actually used a flashlight in a real emergency/urgent situation.
As for me, I have been lucky. Other than some power outages, the only time I had to use a flashlight in an emergency situation was on a campout with a bunch of Scouts. A very severe thunderstorm blew in one night. After determing that it was not safe to stay in the tents, I grabbed my 3 D Cell Mag Light and went from tent to tent telling all the Scouts and other adults to move to a low concrete building nearby. Thunder, lightning, pouring rain. Tornadoes in the general area. We had to stay in there about 45 minutes until the storm blew over. I did manage to get my Coleman Lantern in the building too - because naturally, I was the only one that managed to remember my flashlight. Fortunately none of the tents or gear was damaged. Just very wet.
I always carry a MiniMag flashlight, and a Photon Micro Light on me. Just in case.
