I can see that this makes perfect sense. Here we're only prone to dramatic thunderstorms and an occasional ice storm/outage.

My daughter was just here for the last month after being evacuated from Japan. They had a few items with them that after the quake and tsunami were very popular on base. She always laughed at the items I had them take over there but quickly woke up after having no power/heat/light/internet/cell service.
Hey, what were those items? That's real world experience in SHTF.
