Very true! When massive storms (for instance) knock out the power and telephone lines you better have cash! I thought that I had enough but after 5 days of no power and having to pay cash for generator gasoline (at the one gasoline station about 20 miles away which had emergency power), I had to drive 120+ miles (roundtrip) to find a working ATM machine in order to get cash! Now, when a big storm is on the way, I make sure that I stock up on cash!
How terrible! My closest bank came up on generator power less than 48 hours after hurricane Wilma hit us. I don’t know what you can do except complain to their management but I can’t believe they wouldn’t serve the community when you really needed it.
You are definitely correct though. It’s always easiest to get everything you need before the hurricane hits, not after!
Interesting. It looks like my example and advice are very worthwhile for some people!
