After going through Hurricane Isabel I had a lot of people asked me
about the old Dietz Monarch lanterns that we used for 7 days after the
storm. I found out that you could not find a Dietz lantern anywhere
around here. So I'm going to try and remedy that situation here in
the Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake Virginia area.

Stop by and have a look.

ah, that is the difference. you live in regressive Pennsylvania and I live in
progressive NY. It is those poor louts in Virginia at whoo are lost to this
world and don't know what a Dietz lantern is, and can't find out the day after
a hurricane hit.

Say what?
What Gene says I second. Born & still living in beautiful Halifax, Nova
Scotia, although I'm thinking of escaping to the British Virgin Islands to
avoid this cool damp weather..

donny, just WHAT hurricane did you say hit you WHERE and you were unable to buy
a Dietz lantern to light your way for HOW many days?

btw, doonny, have you ever tried to read by light of Dietz lantern? It is like
trying to read by the light of four birthday candles.

Oh, so the words "Tidewater Virginia" means "Halifax, Nova Scotia" in the
dialect you speak among the natives in the frozen Maritimes?

** Jax... I think you're getting me mixed up with the original poster.
Late in September of 2003 we suffered a direct hit from Hurricane Juan,
which should have been classed as catagory 2 strength as it roared through
here. See the sites Gene pointed out.
I was able to buy a lantern as soon as the stores re-opened...no problem.
My street's power was out for 6 days & nights as I mentioned.
No, I haven't tried to read by Dietz lantern......I was more concerned with
walking around the house without bumping into tables or falling down stairs.
We try to be resourceful in this area..vs NY where all goes to sh*t when a
little brownout happens on occasion.
