Power back on after being out for almost 7 hours. Could tell a lot of people in my 'hood were getting antsy and heading out for lunch or watch sportsball games somewhere else with the amount of traffic... the stop light for a highway near where I live was out, no backup. power
no ferals, or society collapse.
really need to buy some power backup and a small generator
@Kinnison most simple power backup system will last a few hours (have them). Had a portable gen. Got tired of looking for petroleum. Finally bought a gas fired gen it's the best answer ever.
