Fridge use with no elec during emergency?
I understand that my 2 way Fridge will run on Propane, but does it require any electricity at all? Will it work if I am not plugged in and my batteries are completely dead? What about water heater? ...

Thanks for the responses from all.
although I know a generator is handy to have in this type situation, I think I will try to do without. I have no other use for one, and really can't see spending that much money and effort on one for just in case. don't want to go into that discussion right now either.
Guess, if I lose power, I will just not use lights or anything else off battery, so that I can keep them charged to run fridge and water heater (if needed). Hopefully we won't be without power more than a couple of days, during a worse case scenario. I am not concerned about flooding here, but power dam and roads nearby could be closed. Survived the 100 year floods and 500 year floods brought on by rain from Tropical Storms within the last 20 years, so I should be good.
Glad I have an option, so I don't have to go to a shelter and share space with lots of others. I like my own space.
