I went 16 hours without power last weekend. Transformer blown out.

If that transformer didn't feed the local cable and dsl box, I would have been without power for 24 hours at least.

That truly sucked. but with a new high quality fridge tightly shut, we didn't lose any food.

It was a rough reminder that the infrastructure is rotting.

I'm stocking up on more battery powered backup items, expecting more power failures in future years. Battery powered fans for instance - you just dont know what a luxury a fan is until you have no power.
