Folks can deny climate change all they want but these super storms rolling across the USA are worse than the Tubi-TV disaster B-movie row. Add to that, power that goes out more than I did in my twenties. Then, subtract the last of the two Mophie power sources dying and what do you get? Start up the car, plug- in with the garage door down? 👀 (Not recommended – because I need you here to read my ramblings!) No, instead you wish for a product that you can use in an emergency.

Like this portable lantern which cost about $33. It comes in several colors, but for ATL Metro Prime Members, I recommend choosing a color that arrives the next day. This way, you won’t be in the dark “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.”

In case you missed it, Governor B. Kemp declared a state of emergency beginning tonight (08-29-23) with an expiration date of September 8, 2023, due to Category 2 Hurricane Idalia visit. So get your Lantern! It’s lightweight, has three brightness levels, with the top level requiring sunglasses, and only needs six ( 6 ) D Batteries.

Seriously, I might get one in red to match my rubber rain boots. I can just see these lanterns becoming a fashion statement ☔️

Remember: Turn around don’t drown. Heed the severe weather watches & warnings. Note; WATCH alert means be prepared. WARNING alert means oh it’s on and popping, so take action!

Also, Flash floods are real and water rises quickly. So get to the highest point available.

Stay safe out there.
