Back when I was in the telecom biz we had a power outage (in Atlanta - another one of those backwoods areas) for about 3 days in our switch. It was over the weekend and by Sunday night, my boss was calling all of us asking if we had credit or gas cards we could come and buy more gas for the generators with

Considering we had all the LD for the Atlanta Airport payphones (back in the old days before everyone 12 year old had a cellphone), it was kinda important to stay up, but 3 days straight with a center that big and we were hurting BAD. It came back on Monday afternoon - not a minute too soon as I think we were tapped out even after hitting the ATM machines.
