   Physically "been there - done that". The towers do NOT last
   very long in a major disaster. Batts go dead FAST. Generators
   need fuel. Expect MAYBE 48 hours - then it's back to the 60s.
   The old land-lines MAY still work. Still pay (a lot) for one.

   No power = NO CIVILIZATION.

   NOT long until you're back to 1825.

   The broader the disaster the worse/longer it is.
   "Recovery" comes in from the edges by and large.

   Was IN one of those major disasters ... it was back
   to cooking stuff - some hunted - over open wood fires.
   Boiling water. No comms. Gun at your side. Don't get
   hurt or ....

   And that's the USA. Elsewhere - wow !

   Yep THAT bad THAT quickly. Our "civilization" is
   mostly an illusion. Things built on things built
   on things. But any gap and .......
