Multiple times. Sometimes the city would announce scheduled maintenance, sometimes it just went off. Fucking 3rd world :(

Yes! Hurricane Sandy really fucked the northeast. My parents had to basically block all the doorways into the kitchen and used the stove for warmth for like a week or two. I was only there for a little bit but it looked awful.

No, plumbing doesn't run off of electricity.

Somewhere I read that if you lose electricity, you can rub two sticks together to make fire.

With fire all one needs to do is connect wires to any two dissimilar metals. A fork and just the bare end of a wire works super well.

I... What? Setting your house alight doesn't make up for not having electricity. You are an idiot.

but you'd be wiping blind, and have no exhaust fan to take out the shower steam
