I tried to be more prepared after the same ice storm you experienced. Also, I had a 12 day power outage in the middle of summer in 2003 after a derecho hit my city and that also prompted me to be better prepared. Finally, living now in Florida and prepping for hurricanes has made me up my game. I am well prepared for emergencies, but maybe not living off the grid for an extended time. I like the term Resilient Citizens.
