Isabel left us without water,
electricity phone and internet for four days.(10 days without
internet). We pumped water from our neighbors well with a hand pump. We
watched TV by battery and charged our batteries with solar panels.

We ate on the porch, cooked over a gas grill, and took
showers with a bucket -nozzle removed worked better. I have a new
idea.Our neighborhood was lucky. No one was hurt. We formed a closer
community
without the internet.
