SHTF isn’t anywhere close to as likely as more prosaic storm events, yet a lot of people don’t plan for storm events.

It’s still likely that you will have internet after a storm that kills the power. Power for the modem (broadband or otherwise) and computer is usually the only problem. Phone companies have their own power backups. A little car-type inverter can feed a modem and computer unless your computer is a humongous kilowatt gaming unit.

In our case, we bundle. So the storm knocked out cable: no TV, Computer, Phone. But maybe my hubby knows what an inverter is, I don’t. Ha. I just heard thunder and it’s suddenly dark out. Here we go again. Thanks for the advice.
