Since I'm typing this from my cell, while sitting in my car (we haven't had power since saturday,I have to use my car charger), I will keep this brief.
For those of you who have friends or family who give you crap over your flashlights,let me just say that I'm here to tell you your day of vindication is at hand! Lol! Now that we've had no power for quite some time, and,from what I hear, won't have any for actWeek or more, I have suddenly become VERY popular! I've had people drive literally an hour, just to borrow lighting! To say we're in a world of s**t right now is probably a understatement. Theren almost no gas stations open locally, and the ones that are are overwhelmed, with fighting breaking out over places in line. Its like people have completely gone off the deep end.....but, I digress.
I had ALL my aw's and imr's charged and ready to go by friday, and the lights I have are more than up to the tasks placed before them, which has included debris clearing, daily use, and at one point, an ad hoc search and rescue for an elderly neighbor who went missing at the height of the storm (she was found). Once we get power restored, ill post some pics of the damage, and list the lighting I've used. The two items I wish I had are a decent headlamp and more led lanterns. For anyone who lives around here, keep your spirits up and stay focused!
