Hurricane Fran showed me a lot about how people will react when power is out for more than a few minutes. Holy crap it was funny sad and scary all at the he same time.
Last weekend of July this year I had to go pickup my daughter from my folks, I'd been on the road about an hour, wife calls says power is out. Turns out the substation near us had a failing transformer,power was out about 8 hours. We happen to have a Facebook page for the neighborhood, OMG the whining and carrying on. "They should have scheduled it and let us know so we could plan"
People take so much for granted ( myself included in some cases)
when the harsh reality of life happens.....
