[SML] tornados

[mouse at fieldmousepro.com]

Yes! Thank you. My power was out for about 24 hours, but I have a small 
inverter generator and plenty of stabilized gasoline on hand for 
emergencies. I used it to power a few things like the fridge, freezer, 
and the internet router (you know, the important stuff).

Once the power was restored, having a hot meal and a hot shower was 
glorious. It's easy to make fun of getting a case of MREs with the 
chemical bag-heaters to have on hand for emergencies, but it's 
surprising how much of a morale booster it can be just to have some hot 
food.
