Power Outage in Progress
« on: June 30, 2017, 12:10:25 AM »
My neighborhood has no power.  Kipapa area in Miliani near the Meheula Pkwy and Kuahelani Blvd.

Went out just before 11:30PM.

It's too hot to be without fans or A/C, too!

Yep.  Only thing I was worried about was the hot, humid weather.  With no fans or A/C, it was impossible to sleep.

In a hurricane, I doubt I'll be without wind, and sleeping won't be my #1 worry.

I have RoadRunner.  I used my AT&T smartphone as a hot spot to connect from a MacBook Air laptop.  Phone & laptop have battery power.

I'm assuming the outage didn't affect the cell towers or Time Warner Cable's connectivity.   :thumbsup:

It is after the hurricane that the weather always becomes perfectly still and sunny.  Bottom line is to be truly prepared you MUST have a means to generate electricity, not only for comfort, but also to rebuild or fix what was damaged during the storm.
