I saw news accounts of the storm, which were mostly about Spain - I didn't realize how widespread it was.

Glad to hear you managed OK.

Eastern Ontario / western Quebec / northern New York was hit by an ice storm 11 winters ago which left millions without power for up to a week. Afterward, many people spent money on preparations for future power losses. (Lots of generators sold.)

My parents replaced a wood burning fireplace (they had little wood when the power went out) with a natural gas one - the gas keeps flowing regardless of power in the local area.
