After reading Lights Out, I placed plenty of one and two liter bottles of water in the deep freeze. Yesterday, our refrigerator expired, but it was not a problem because we had plenty of ice.
The repairman was impressed that cold air rolled out of a broken refrigerator, then he saw the two liter blocks of ice. He thought I was brilliant until I told him I read it in a book.

been using 2L bottles of water frozen for years and didnt need to read a book.  for Irene i used just plain ol bottled water since the 2L bottles would have taken up to much space in the fridge/freezer and we dont have a chest freezer any more. lost power for appx 5 hours and everything was still well under 40* in the fridge and still frozen in the freezer part.

I have plenty of 2 liter water bottles in the fridge, wish I'd put some in the freezer too! My electricity was turned off this morning and it may be a few weeks before I can afford to turn it back on. Fortunately I had a bag of ice - I put my frozen food into a bucket with that ice dumped around it, but a few 2-liters in the freezer might have allowed me to keep my food for a few more days.
Once money is caught up again, I definitely want to get a copy of LIGHTS OUT! For now tho, my lights really are out so...
