During the last 2 days in Los Angeles, we finally got soaked. At 5 AM, my neighborhood lost power, which in an all-electric building feels dramatic. No lights of course, but also no heat, no working stove (with the immediate result of no morning hot beverage), and if the outage lasts long enough, no hot water. Dawn was approaching, and with it, some natural light (despite a darkened sky) so that was good. My phone was newly charged. In other words, I had a lot to be grateful for. 5 hours later, we were back in business.
