I'm in favor of always keeping a small flashlight on you. I tend to use a flashlight much more than a pocket knife so I keep the flashlight on my belt and the knife buried in a pocket or purse.
I had to know what the hell was going on in October 2012:
"Hurricane Sandy's storm surge slams into the Eastern seaboard and causes destruction especially in the states of New Jersey and New York. In addition to record flooding damage along the Jersey Shore in Atlantic City and Seaside Heights, the superstorm causes almost 50 deaths in the states and leaves more than 8 million customers (all of Lower Manhattan, 65% of New Jersey, and many more) without electricity." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_29
