    We were inside walmart when it hit our area. Power went out
    lights didn't work but the cash registers did. LOL Were able to
    cash out and leave once they checked reciept and the rain died down
    a bit.

    Drove out to the woods but no electricity there so that means no
    water as well (As the park pumps the water using electric pumps).
    Had a bunch of food with us for the fridge / freezer there as such
    had to turn around and come home. Typical May 24 long weekend,
    always bad weather. lol

    Severe weather season will be going on for us in the South for a while longer yet...really all the way through September. North America has the most active weather system in the world due to its geographic location.

    Haven't had a thundersnow in a while here though.

    Not a big deal in Bancroft. The worst of it seemed a bit south
    and didn't last long.

    No portable propane appliances? They make them for fridges/
    coolers too you know.

    I was talking about my area.

    Yep. I know.

    I check into the Hurricane Watch Net because we are affected by the hurricanes' aftermath quite often.

    Depends. If there's s lot of lightning involved, yes. I lost $3000 worth of amateur radio equipment to a lightning strike six miles from my house; the lightning strike traveled down electrical wires and fried the finals in my radios.

    Since I don't have any UPS equipment, it's better to be safe than sorry.

    That's good.

    No our place is 50 years old and just functional. Without electricity
    the park doesn't have water either so pooping with bottled water is
    not cheap. ;)

    You need water to conduct a poop? Do it like the bears and
    other forest animals! :D ..except to make sure it's buried.
