When we get in these bad weather situations, we want to make sure we stock up on as many relief supplies as possible. A little extra fresh water, dry clothing, and some food; which will stay fresh for a long time, are just some of the things every person needs in their emergency supply kits. Keeping 2 or more flashlights on hand isn’t a bad idea either. Typically when bad storms blow up in a certain area, the electricity will go down. If your supply kit contains a flashlight; along with some extra batteries, you will be ahead of the game. Mother Nature can unleash her fury at any time, so its really important to always keep these kits nearby. If you have any extra flashlights on hand, be sure to carry them along with you too. Just in case your original flash light doesn’t work properly.

Flashlights Under $2 Each

Here is a super sale for flashlights online at Buy.com. I would rather own 6 different flash lights; than to rely on just one flashlight for an emergency situation. Online shoppers can pick up all 6 flashlights online with one very low price. You would spend a lot of money, if you chose to buy all six of these separately. Now you can buy them in a package deal and have plenty of lights available, in case your lights do go out in the near future.

I know my household has 1 or 2 flashlights to use in case of an emergency. I just hope the batteries currently in them are operational and can be ones we can count on, if our electricity does decide to go out for an extended period of time.

I live in North Georgia and clearly remember the blizzard of 93′ in which a lot of people living up and down the Eastern Seaboard lost their power. My household was miserable during this time and it would take 2 weeks; until our power was fully restored.

What troubles and worries did you have during the 1993 blizzard; which crippled much of the East in the United States? Would a $2 flashlight have helped, if you did have one with brand new batteries in it? I know lighting was just one of the terrible things most of us had to endure, with this freaky, early 1990′s snow storm. A blizzard in the middle of March should be a wake up call to us all, that our climate is changing fast and we need to be prepared. I think we can start, by having a big supply of flashlights with batteries that work. Our tornado season is now officially gone, but now we have the hurricanes this fall to worry about.
