The black out yesterday that left over 40,000 lower mainland customers in the dark, was a big wake up call for me.
When it happened yesterday, there were no flashlights to be found in the house. Nada, not a single one! And when relatives came over yesterday after deciding to get off the highway and wait it out at our place, I realized that they do not carry flashlights either as part of their "car emergency". So, I have decided to give everyone flashlights as christmas presents this year.
It is just the little things that we forget because we have relied too much on modern technology.
So, for those of you affected by the storm, make sure you are prepared next time. Have a couple of heavy duty flashlights at home - such as SureFire, Streamlight , and Pelican. These flashlights are used by the police, firefighters and military folks. Dont forget to have a flashlight for your car also as part of your emergency car kit.
OpticsPlanet.net is having a sale! Just right on time for the holidays too! Discount pricing on led flashlights, hands free headlamps, pocket, gun mount lights, flash light accessories. Discount pricing and free UPS on order over $29.95.

We actually got lucky as far as the blackout goes. We live in Burnaby, but are moving to South Surrey on the 1st of next month.
My partner works in Surrey though and he came home full of it, telling me how he hadn't been able to do any work because there was no power and all of that.
Being without power sucks. I feel for you guys.
