I went though this last night.
Today, I was at ACE Hardware, shopping for battery operated lamps. I found two. Both styled to look like lanterns, but they run on LEDs.
I ordered a transistor radio from Walmart.
Will order a CD player too.
I have too much food already. Not worried about that.
Full pantries are a family tradition.
Last month, I purchased an E+Ready Emergency Compact Crank Radio from Walmart.
With all of the craziness going on, I thought it may be a good idea, just in case antifa or some of the other terror groups committed a big terror attack.
It will also come in handy during hurricane season and the Fall and Spring Tornado Seasons here in Bama.
The radio includes AM/FM, Weather Alerts, Emergency Alerts and is battery, crank and solar powered.
It also includes a flashlight and can charge cell phones and tablets. I couldn’t resist that, lol. You can’t be too safe.
I have experienced a tornado that decimated my hometown and remember with horror the 2011 tornado outbreak, when 62 tornadoes tore through the State, including Tuscaloosa and Birmingham.
When Hurricane Harvey struck Texas, it brought tornadoes our way. One tornado literally tore through our back yard. My mother and I were in the Hall praying and panicking, lol.
I don’t blame you for purchasing all those items. It’s smart to be ready for any disaster.
You sound like me with the CD player and radio. I MUST have my music or I will go mad, lol. That’s why I have two portable chargers for my iPhone and iPad.
A couple of years ago, I purchased an expensive, fancy Shortwave radio from Amazon. Unfortunately, on the shortwave band, I can only pick up religious stations and Radio Havana, although Radio Havana can be interesting at times.
Another problem is that you almost have to be a computer programmer to work the radio because it’s so complicated.
As far as food is concerned, our pantries are ready to explode because we have so much canned food.
We also have the same LED lanterns. They have served us well.
I’m glad that you are staying safe and buying the necessary equipment.
Good luck.
