I suggest you go break into your local construction rental place and steal a generator before the other looters get there first.  If you go to a rental place first you'll have a better shot than the mob going Home Depot/Lowes.

OK, if it goes really bad, just take showers, DO NOT DRY OFF, and walk out onto the unstained deck and just sit there and drink your gourmet beers and so forth. 

Downsides:  Naked in front of Omaha neighbors is iffy.  You will probably ruin the marriages of every single family next to you.

Positives:  Very "into the wild" type thing.  You and your many children will come to love nature and cherish the simple things in life.

Take flashlight and go to the garage

Locate rope and handle hanging down from garage door drive

Pull handle down and it releases the garage door from its track

Push garage door up, get into car and drive away before cockroaches and possums habitate your home

I'd bet if you guys dug deep enough in your closets you'd find one of those radios/flashlights with a crank handle you're supposed to put in you car for when you get stranded in a blizzard.

After the infamous ice storm that hit MHK in 2007, I have a flashlight or battery lantern  in every room in the house (especially bathrooms). Recently reviewed my emergency plan and am strongly considering adding a bottle of Scotch to be placed next to each flashlight/lantern. No ice needed.
