If power goes, many would not survive. Winter temps can be brutal. I feel like the info swirling around right now is bipolar. Some saying expect an unexpectedly good change as we enter the holiday season and then there is prepare for total blackout and the worst economic times ever. I thought the Alliance had things ready to go to replace the systems we are leaving. the bipolar nature of this info is exhausting!

I believe it is always best to prepare for the worst (as much as you are able) but hope/pray for the best. It is better to be overprepared than underprepared.
