Honestly, the longest power outage we’ve experienced since we got here.

In terms of number of outages and frequency, SF is not as bad as Monterey (we had that regularly there). But I think the combination of ‘our driverless car companies have no plan for what happens when this sort of thing happens’ and ‘poor and unaccountable from PG&E in a very dense area’ means it feels like things can escalate when the infra is down.

Just like how we have no AC and can’t handle the 1-3 days a year where it’s super hot, we also aren’t really prepared for power outages. I do have ‘better emergency preparedness’ on my list to do, soon, also because the tremors from the last few earthquake have spooked me a bit.
