Do you have back up generators?

Well I do. But many people don't. I used to own one that could power the whole house, but now I just have a Honda 2 KW one. It powers the basics, but I can't hook up the whole house to it. Thinking of upgrading sometime next year.

The issue is that it should never take 6 months to a year to get power restored after a natural disaster like that.

But with Maria there were two realities: Our electrical infrastructure really wasn't up to snuff, and Maria totally demonstrated that. Two... Maria was a Cat 5 and smashed right through the middle of PR, the worst possible scenario from a hurricane.
