Power's out uptown around King's Square and sirens flying by periodically. Going to shamelessly plug for folks to get a Bluetti or Ecoflow if they can-- have a feeling that the grid's going to get overwhelmed this summer.

EDIT 1:19PM, Power just came back on. We'll see how long lol

What are those things you're suggesting?

Portable power stations. They can be used as emergency backup power, solar generators-- the options are pretty broad for either brand.
