Good idea to prepare for blackout(s)

I had a week-long “test” blackout run already 😡🤬 as my power was out for a week due to the billion$$ mafia energy company turning off my power due to a $1400 electric bill from only January! The bill is BS (it’s only me and my foster dogs); am in doctorate program, not working full time. Mafia monopoly energy company won’t even try to help me figure out why it is so high.

Luckily, many churches in this area have programs to help pay portions of it, so was able to scrape together the funds to get it turned back on. 🙏🏻 They are swamped with people like me in need; if you have any extra $$, pls donate.

Going to get a solar-rechargeable Jackery/Yeti so I can keep fridge, fan and iPad running. Am unplugging everything else from their grid. Screw ‘em. Hope the blackout wipes them out and kicks on the Tesla Tower in Austin.

Might pass along anyone with oxygen or Insulin might be able
To get a Medical Necessity form from their MD - Power Company cannot turn off power in those instances - least round these parts OG&E cannot - -

I have one. They will turn your power off in a heartbeat. They will also fail to respond with your medical needs as priority ONE, too. If you're not setup with back up generator and adequate fuel, you will not be ready when or if your power fails. This has happened to me a few times. My medical oxygen needs (electricity) were ignored.

This is where we are now in the timeline of things. Solar is my backup to large forklift batteries.

I am the VP of an HOA Board in Fla - we were hit hard by IAN - trying to convince the community to buy a generator for the community center - we will see...it's only been 9 months - how short are their memories. My husband and I stayed throughout the Hurricane. ended up with no electrity internet or phone service - but a generator would have been a blessing for those who would have been here
