I also used a small battery operated radio which had am/fm/shortwave. I did not keep it on all of the time because I only had a few batteries and I sure did not want to go to the few stores which had generators. It was amazing how super nice drivers were at the non-working stop lights. We all took turns at them. My daughter’s company is in another part of town and she said it was freaky driving home with no lights whatsoever. She also said it was dangerous. We learned a lot during that week
We learned a lot, too.
