Communications weren't great - else everyone should stop complaining

What went ok - having lived in Evergreen for 38 years, we are used to power outages, up to one week long. We have a 2 kw and 5kw generator that we can use to run fridge and even TV. We store plenty of water ahead of storms (we are on well), and make sure we have food that we need. We have a gas stove and fireplace. So are outages inconvenient? Yes. Are they part of living in the mountains? Yes. So if folks can't deal with these rare outages, they should live in the city.
