I got a couple pairs of shoes, size 15EEEE. It's hard enough finding them in the stores.

They are prepping for anything, like Hurricane Sandy that was unexpected really. The weather is indeed changing and we can expect huge storms on the West coast in the future also.

I recommend oil or kerosene lamps a good jug of fuel for them and some lamp wicks. Can't rely to much on batteries IMO.

Liquide fuel is heavy and dangerous. Go to the sporting goods store. You can get a very small LED lantern that literally fits in your hand that has 100+ lumens and will run for 24+ hours before a battery change. $35.

Use rechargable batteries with a small solar panel charging system and you're set.

Sounds good and we have something similar, but we rarely have sun and charging may not be an option. Guess it is pretty cheep to keep what we have the candles, lanterns that run on Kerosene, and battery lamps.
