People have to be careful when operating out of the 'Normal' mode. Using 
makeshift heating and power setups can be very dangerous if you're unaware of 
the dangers or simply don't pay attention. More than one person has been 
killed by trying to heat with a barbeque grill, for instance.
There's times that you just have to give it up and go to the shelter. Biggest 
problem is for those with pets that can't be left behind.
