People today live with a microwave mentality.
They expect government relief agencies to respond instantly and fix their problems now.
I think fast food places like McDonalds has warped peoples perspective about how long things like restoring electric power really takes to repair in disaster situations. ....
Lotta peeps get soooooo dependent on electricity. Then fall to pieces.
Me, I like a good power outage. Lets you know what your world would be like without this rampant 24/7 fake daylight. Makes you get creative.
It DEPENDS.....when Sandy came through we had huge early snowfall and low temperatures that brought down trees and powerlines all over the state. Because we had well water - without power we had no water or heat other than the wood stove insert. It was interesting - we essentially lived in one room for heat and light and we did get creative. But it lasted a week. And it was cold. Somehow the water situation was what really dragged me down. It was hard to be creative.
Hurricane, snow,Wtf?
