Any Generators, Power Banks, Solar Panels, etc…?
Edit: So I’m gonna answer my own question. I’ll probably freak out and would have zero generators to deal with it. Heater is Gas, but I don’t know if gas would work during power outage. Cooking, well there’s a butane burner stove. I have 3 10000mah batteries, but they have 60% efficiency due to power loss during transfer, so its effectively 6000mah, enough to roughly charge my 5000mah battery once, 3 batteries is 3-4 charges. Then I’d be bored with zero entertainment, along with all the food melting and going bad, very not fun 🙃
I’ll be ok for a bit. My chest freezer will be good for several days, and my family room has a gas heater that doesn’t need electrical. Also gas stove top doesn’t need electrical, and I have a propane grill so cooking is set. For entertainment, I have books on kindle that should be good a couple weeks
Fridge, car, phone good for a day or so until batteries are used up - do we still have cell service? I’d try digging out my camping gear but hopefully didn’t leave fuel with that.
We have excellent power reliability here. I don’t think it’s gone more than 2 hours in the last 20 years
Cell Towers should have a backup battery that last like maybe a few hours? But people might be calling each other in response to the blackout so the networks could get congested and you might not be able to call.
In the two decades I’ve lived here, we’ve never had a power outage long enough or widespread enough to affect cell service.
I don’t even care about calling - who does that anymore? But data is more important in day to day use. I can entertain myself without it, but I’m not sure I still have a working radio receive broadcast TV, so I’d have no way of staying informed
But it is an interesting question - do cell towers also have redundant or special service or be prioritized for restoral of service in an emergency?
