I live in Puerto Rico, and the hurricane María, throw the electrical grid to the floor, literally. Yes suddenly 3 million US citizens can’t use electronic payment because the hurracaine take down the whole telecommunication network.

The majors of the cities were given some satellite phones by FEMA. No traffic lights around the island ( still today some not working), the roads where blocked by electric pole on the floor. The store looting happen the first ~2 weeks. The complete island goes in ONLY CASH MODE, for around ~3 months.

But yeah, What possibly could go wrong?

I hate to use cash, I like my credit card rewards, but after María, that idea 100% cashless, u got to think about it twice.

Hopefully you won't get hit bad again this year, because the season is already coming...

Cash is also good for privacy purposes because businesses can't buy your purchase history when you use cash.
