We have internet through phone line. When power goes out, modem goes out, and after a day or two phone goes out. We have generators but need work, but that won’t help access to FR! We do have some gravity feed water and propane stove so no starving, and thankfully no trench latrines needed. BTDT...
> power loss
Back in December of 2008 we had a vicious ice storm, like a once in 200 year storm. Took our power out for 7 days. Temps never got above 20F. My generator died the first night. We bailed water out of our basement for 8 hours until the storm stopped. I was carrying 40 gallon trash barrels full of water up the bulkhead stairs out of the basement to empty them. We refused to leave. We went through a cord of wood in 7 days keeping the house habitable. I was unprepared with water. Flushed the toilet with water from our vernal pools. It was something I will never ever forget.
