West central Florida's been doing this three times for the last two autumns, after the hurricanes roar through. It's not the end of the world, no, but it's awfully inconvenient.

it was not the end of the world,
you literally got disconnected of the machine that helps you
eat, drink, navigate, work, f....
in one word, to live.
The paradox in that event, according to some unofficial interpretations,
is that it happened because the surplus of solar panels,
especially individual ones that are connected to the network.
short story long, that created instability in the network that generated a massive outage,
in total opposition to the idea of independence you try to achieve when you install such solar panels at home.
this is speculative, lets see how things roll out, of course.

Maintaining infrastructure is an expensive, messy and ungrateful job.
Some countries are going to see decades of deterioration of infrastructures.
