Well, I just left a comment on your blog that about summed up what we do. The PacNW does not get hurricanes, of course, but we do get raging windstorms come winter that knock out the power, sometimes for hours, and we are forced to entertain ourselves during that time. Last time, I ran to the store right before the power went out--it literally went out while I was staring at the flashlights--got 2 bottles of wine, beer, crackers, and flashlights. When I got back, we rigged up one of the flashlights to shine on our foosball table, and we had some friends over to play foosball. Had a great time. Then we played cards for a while, and got stoned. We also have a selection of board games, but the power came back on before we got into those.
If it goes out again this winter, we're super-prepared; my dad got us a flashlight that is on a tripod--perfect for aiming at the foosball table. We also have headlamps now, and I've got a radio with a CD player that runs on batteries.
