Was out of electricity for over 2 weeks, but having a gas stove, you can light it manually. Always worked and also helped with the heating by keeping the oven door open. Need water to flush toilet...rain barrels work fine for that..Old kerosene heater did a great job in living room and kitchen..close all doors to rooms not in use. (Including closets)Bathroom was a little chilly but no too bad..Just need to be careful with kerosene heaters, make sure you have good ventilation.

Not at all, many have never used one.

Safety lessons often bear repeating.

Thank you, GG, I forgot to say that that is the advantage to a gas stove, that you can light it manually when the electric ignition has no power!!

As for the water, I have an old swimming pool that is not used, and was thinking about tearing it down, until the power went out, and the water came in handy to flush toilets! So, I just decided to leave it be. I’m in the country with no close neighbors, so it’s only an eye-sore to me.
