Last week I was watching a Boston Station doing an interview with several Quincy residents at a supermarket getting ready for the impending sorm. They were upbeat and put up a brave front about the coming storm.
When the interviews were over the TV reporter delivered what was to me a critical consideration.
She said those people were pretty upbeat, prepared and unconcerned, "but all that goes out the window when the power goes down".
We were lucky in Scituate we didn't lose power, although it was deliberately shut down in certain areas for the houses along the waterfront. Turns out it was a good move.

The media here in Red Hampshire ALWAYS finds the family with the generator to interview during a power failure...how about a sample from the majority (as you stated) who don’t have a generator? Not comfy enough for the media, I’m sure...
