 Confirmations and failures: event still ongoing.

-FRS radios are insufficient for communication within community. Not enough HAM operators to make use of locally. Boosted CBs seem the likely solution for my situation. 

-my supply of gas/propane was indeed not as ridiculous as I was teased about prior to this event. 😜

-more chainsaws. more chains.

-dual fuel lanterns/stoves are invaluable. 

-battery banks were insufficient. 

-food stores/resources on hand were more than adequate. 

-security and vehicle access seems adequate. Luckily not fully tested, but vigilant. 

-water redundancy was crucial. Lost a well head at the onset. Open well and water storage proved necessary. 

-additional generators needed. Had one fail almost immediately.
