After teaching my morning classes, I checked the weather forecast. The Wind advisory in effect made me check our signage on the curbs. We needed to secure them already, which got me alerted to the likely need to prepare for power outage.
Heating the warning, I got out flashlights with good batteries, powered up our devices and thermosed plenty of hot water just in case. This morning, the generator kicked in next-door, alerting the cats to get me up to check on the strange sound. In the dark, I reached for the flashlight and proceeded to feed the cats as I got into my yoga practice with hot water and candles ready on my altar.
What do you need to be prepared for power outages? Do you heed the warnings? Ki to Happiness is preparation.
