Here in our corner of Austin we had 100+ hours without electricity and 60+ hours without water followed by multiple days of having to boil it to make it potable. We had zero notion that the grid was that fragile. We also have zero confidence that fragility will be effectively addressed. OPEC, after all, was modeled on the Texas Railroad Commission. So we are stocking paper plates and bowls, excess (and rotated} canned goods, a weather radio with a hand crank generator, a folding tin camp stove with a flat of sterno, plenty of oil and wicks for our hurricane lamps, etc. We're too old for this shit...
