Well it's an auto-ignite gas stove, but if there's no power, I have to find the match box to light the gas stove.

We were lucky that we had a place to go to, but there are many people who are not as lucky as us. So extreme weather is going to be more and more of a normal thing this point forward because of, well, global warming. It's not a joke anymore; it is happening.
