But, since I never know when I might have an extended away from groceries, I keep a lot of rice, cereal, canned soups and root vegetables on hand.

We also carry about 150 gallons of water and have a water maker.

But all of this is part of our lifestyle. If people on land have a power outage, it impacts on us not at all.

Sorry about your electricity loss. It can be kind of fun (for a while, anyway).
