Had a fright when the power went out. It's already in the upper 20's and with no power the GH heaters won't run. Thankfully it came back on in about 10 minutes but I watched both GH's drop 2 degrees (both were in the mid 40's) in that 10 minutes.

It got me to thinking, what would I do if it was a lengthy power failure with way below freezing weather?

I found is a Coleman ProCat Catalytic Heater that actually has a fan that runs off batteries! I'm thinking I may have to get me a couple of those - but you would definitely have to baby sit them all night since it doesn't have a thermostat. And the price really isn't all that bad!

Anyone else have any suggestions for this potentially disastrous problem?
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
