General Discussion

…our phone was the only one in the neighborhood still working when the cell towers went up in flames in a regional California fire. During one disaster my sis in Massachusetts phoned me in California — and my landline rang altho the power was otherwise out — and she literally read me the news from CNN off her own TV, when I said I had no idea what was going on outside my immediate neighborhood.

Nowadays, through the magic of electronics, when a major power outage occurs (usually as a fire prevention measure in high winds) we immediately lose computer and iPad reception, and very quickly after that, can barely get info as posted to my iPhone.

I really don’t think of this as a magical one size fits all improvement.
