I've got a set of tire chains waiting for me @ a local O'Reilly. Not doing me any good there!

My daughter went to work this morning. She works off of Briargate Parkway (north end of the Springs) but lives near Peterson & Constitution (central/East-side of Springs). It took her just over an hour to get home after getting released @ 11. Her husband (member here) works nights, usually from home and told her they'd just got power back after it had been out for almost 45 minutes. They have a fireplace, but not sure if it's gas or wood. I know they don't have any wood on hand.

I've got 5 or 6 20lb propane tanks and 2 Mr. Heater units in case power goes out. Also have a wood fireplace (and wood supply) but with this wind, I'd be afraid to use it. Got flash lights and candles and a couple of portable grills in the garage. In case we lose power we'll be in good shape. My wife is FINALLY seeing the value in my insisting we always keep a good supply of everything from toilet paper to food in the house. I've requested she keep her phone plugged in to keep a full charge on it - plus, I've got a few of those battery backup thing-of-a-majigs to re-charge them.

My biggest concern at this point is the wind blowing trees over into mine or my neighbors house (my trees, so I have to consider the neighbor as well). Other than that, I'm happy to sit this one out if possible.
