Only those that depend on their Xbox or DWTS. If you are prepared no electricity is a camping vacation.

I'm ready. And waiting. Looking forward to it!

I'll add a quote from the article behind the following link to my previous comment.

Why you need to add solar to your emergency power backup plans

Earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal published an article summarizing a Senate hearing on the vulnerability of the electric grid. This study reviewed how a coordinated attack on only nine of the most critical sub-stations in the U.S. would cause a nation-wide blackout lasting up to 18 months. The hearing participants were strongly chastised for allowing this type of information to be made public.

And the thousands of people who rely on electricity to keep their medications at proper temperature, run their oxygen machines, etc. Unfortunately, it’s not just the parasites that would suffer.

I would be in a foul mood in the middle of a Florida August with no A/C. :)

What is DWTS? Doctor Who TARDIS Security?

Yep, no electricity is not a big deal here. We do without quite often. The only difference would be the length of time. Thousands of people for thousands of years did without electricity.

No internet or cable yesterday and no noisy neighbors anywhere around. I had a wonderful time reading and napping.
