RE: City wide electricity outage this morning in Amsterdam - 360,000 homes without power (including ours)

in #til8 years ago (edited)

Oh man, that would be tough with a baby! It is scary how reliant we are on the grid. Once here in Minnesota we were without power for almost four full days. Luckily it wasn't during winter because it would've been disastrous here without heat. The solar radio is a great idea. I also keep an external battery charged for my iPhone. I can get about 4 charges out of it, this is also handy while traveling. Going through this kind of thing really causes you to think about what you'd do in the event of a more prolonged outage. I'm glad everything is okay and the power is back!

True and useful! In this case no 4G either. Only a distant good old GSM antenna :). Four days is a whole dofferent ballgame!

Wow! Yes, four days without power really readjusts your mindset. It was actually very peaceful and we ended up getting to know neighbors that we probably never would have taken the time to socialize with. Glad all is well!
