The problem with going for a long time with no power failures is we lose the sense of precaution that prompts the purchase of such things as generators and propane heaters.
The retirement community where I live had a power failure eight years ago during a cold spell. That motivated me to buy a generator and a propane heater. I haven't needed to use them yet, and I hope I never do, but without that power outage eight years ago I would not have spent the money on them. After the freeze we are experiencing here in New Jersey I'm sure there will be a run on generators and propane heaters and those suppliers' stock will be an excellent short-term investment.
