A World Without Power (2013)
This was well written. Sounds like he had less than 24 hours without power but turned the story into a doomsday journal entry.<p>His note about cell phone towers losing power was scary. Never really thought about that. I usually assume the phones will keep working as long as we can charge them, but I suppose the towers need some juice too.<p>In our small city, one power line blew down last week and 1/4 of the city was without power for about 6 hours.<p>I'm baffled at the lack of redundancy.<p>I have more redundancy behind my customers' blogs about their dogs than it appears our city has for keeping electricity flowing to 10K people.<p>Life without power will be hard to survive. And I fear my neighbors much more than my food spoiling.
