Probably true. We have it in a spare room and is not our every day phone. But I do recall a while back when our electric was out, and our digital phones were inoperable. I heard something ringing which was the old princess. Lol
You would be surprised how many people forget that their cordless phones won’t work if the power fails and the landlines are still working. I have my old black AT&T rotary phone that I keep in my “hurricane box.”
Don’t forget all those boxes of tissues, that will be necessary, because the Obama-bots could not be bussed to the polling precincts, in time!
Yes, the concensus has it that there is indeed a firearm missing from the list.
I can’t believe that the dot gov chicken littles are telling folks that LED flashlights are better than incandescent bulb models. I have yet to see an LED model, with the same heft and feel of a larger-than-two-cell maglite. I have both kinds, both made by maglite, and here is a small truth. The LED model washes out detail, that the incandescent shows! It is known that the incandescent light penetrates through inclement weather better than an LED light. But, for the next few days, it is not the amount of light the maglite produces, but the amount of resistive force delivered, when used by the homeowner against an uninvited guest!
Only true if you have copper direct from the CO to your phone and nothing happens to the CO and it’s generators.
In more suburban/rural areas they have a SLC, which has fiber from the CO then translations to copper to the homes. Those require power in the field and are typically backed by batteries only. Same whit CabelCo services, though those typically also require power at the home.
I prefer the AK have at least 4 30-round magazines & a side folding stock . Re4d dot sight is optional ,a Scoped FN-FAL with 5 20-round magazines is also a nice option as well.
That’s why I wrote “old land lines”. No fiber - all copper.
