Going hungry and stumbling around with flashlights was alright. But with no Internet, TV, radio, or telephone we had no idea of what happened or when we were going to get power back. And nobody else we called with our cells phones did either. The power was down for two days.
We now have LED lanterns, a battery powered radio and a spare propane tank for the BBQ. The little pocket radio was the hardest to find. I guess people feel they are no longer needed.
