Though it is a weird, random sort of question. Do you keep emergency candles in the house, and if you do, where do they live during times of non-emergency? Not zombie apocalypse emergency, just power outage emergency.

Haha, you're welcome! Come to think of it, we don't use them actually *during* bad storms; too dangerous, since we're huddling in the hall in case of tornado/broken windows from hail. Also important is the battery-powered radio, so we can hear the live broadcast about exactly where the worst parts of the storms are, and if/where tornado(s) are on the ground. The candles and lamps are used afterward or during non-severe storms, when we're just trying to function in the dark. I have taken a shower by candlelight once, and more than once I've brought a candle and matches into the bathroom in case the power when out during my shower.
