I'm just getting around to reading this thread. I am in Central Kentucky, just south of Lexington, and find some resonance with some of the other Ky. posters. Our power was off 5 days. I was disappointed in myself that I couldn't immediately locate things I needed. So lesson learned. And as someone else said, I have been more concerned with long-term planning, rather than short-term circumstances like this. A short term problem is statistically the more likely occurence. But we made out OK. Even though I had to hunt down some of my "stuff" I had enough redundancy we got through the first night until day broke and I could put my hands on things in the light of day.
