Todd stumbled to get flashlights while I opened the computer to give off a little light. I got the power bill to get the number to call in that our power was out while Todd went to Emily's room to try our breakers.
We weren't very organized about this and weren't sure what to do afterwards. Emily was a little freaked out so we put her in our bed. I laid down with her but I wasn't tired. Todd headed off to the movies.
The lights came on about an hour or so after they went out. I was very relived since it's been so hot lately. But it also got me thinking about the fact that we, as a family, are so reliant on power.
If a zombie apocalypse (or any type of apocalypse) were to happen, I think we would be toast. We flailed around with just a power outage. I think it would be worse if the undead were trying to eat us.

Buy some batteries, candles and matches, stock the cupboards with non-perishables, stock the bathroom with necessities, and if you have a big chest freezer, fill the bottom with bottled water. The frozen bottles will keep the freezer colder while the power is out. It won't last through an entire apocalypse, but at least you won't lose all your frozen meats if the freezer is off for a few hours ;-)
