> - What’s going on? How bad is it? How long is it going to last? Very unstable mobile internet as mentioned.

Silly question but do you have AM or FM radio? When the lights went out in the northeast blackout of 2003 we turned to our cars to put on AM radio. Even after Hurricane Sandy my mother was without power for 3 weeks and she was running a battery powered radio.

I shudder to think of a future where moving information requires high performance digital electronics vs. a crystal radio set.

It’s a very valid question.

I don’t have one currently. But I did hear later that others were using radio to get news.

Thank you for bringing it up again. I’m gonna buy a small battery powered radio :)

My Android cell phone has a FM radio app that was pre-installed at the factory. It requires the use of wired headphones to act as an antenna, but otherwise works fine.

Sadly some new models are removing that function :/
