Re: Something else about the recent blackouts

What about rotating your gas cans?
Fill them, then pull one each month and add the gas to your regular vehicle and refill the empty?
That could keep you will 'fresh' gas.

Any thoughts?

This is just me, but I don’t believe we were caught by surprise. The News Meteorologist did an unusual great job. We were told at least a week in advance of the weather coming and it was weather like we haven’t seen in decades. I don’t know how many people listened and prepared, but we did.
I am going to claim it's because of the "Boy who cried wolf"
The Meteorologists have been predicting the "Storm of the Century" so often that folks don't believe them. (Less than five inches of rain in Houston, is NOT the "Storm of the Century". It's not even the storm of the year.)

The wife and I were prepared but we kind of stay that way because of hurricanes.
