Here in Texas, it has been the same – finally internet and electric yesterday! We are so dependent on the internet for everything from work to entertainment, aren’t we?
Perhaps it’s good to have these wake up calls to remind us of how fragile our civilized systems are and to fix them. I wonder if this will change those who doesn’t think there is climate change. Hmmm, probably not.
My house runs totally on electricity. I have worried about exactly what you outlined in your blog post. Consequently, I am going to be getting solar panels in the spring on my roof with back up batteries. I think it’s a good idea and makes me feel better already. Your situation is dire. The electrical grid Is subject to hacking. This is a good time for all of us to think about going solar. Namaste.
Hi Lynn, sounds like a mess. Glad everything is back up for you. I can’t imagine not be able to surf the net or stream shows, etc during this pandemic while we are all stuck at home a lot. Sound like a “perfect storm”. 🙁 Also feel bad for the people in Texas. I am in CO and we are more use to the cold and such, but they are not. Hopefully this polar vortex will end soon (at least faster than this annoying Wuhan Virus). Stay warm.
Thank you – yes, being stuck home due to the virus and then not having electricity or internet made it hard – all my books are on my phone as the libraries are still closed. I’m ok now but I have friends still without power and friends in Texas – youch 🙁

Thank you – Yes especially in the pandemic, the Internet has become a necessity. Glad you got your power back too.

Thank you – I doubt people who don’t believe in climate change will ever change their minds – we will have to make changes without them.

Thank you – I’ll probably be moving this year and one of the things that will happen to the new place will be solar panels!
