Just got awakened by my phone due to a severe thunderstorm warning. We got high winds and heavy rain right now. Lots of lightening. Living in the middle of a forest can be interesting at times.
Ahh, the auto generator just kicked on. -

What does this have to do with technology?
The technology, which I didn't get to--my bad it was 1:30am, has to do with being awakened by my phone sending me an alert to the possibility of 90mph winds along with possible flooding due to very heavy rains.
It might not seem like much to you, but when you live in a very rural area in the middle of a forest, we don't get the niceties of more urban folks. Ignoring the years I spent as a medic and fire fighter in this area and getting my pager pinged for every weather watch from the county dispatch, (information the general populous doesn't get), This is a new thing for us. Now, if only cell service wasn't so poor here even more people could get such warnings.
And my automatic backup generator is still running and powering my house. A bit of tech kit you probably don't need, but I do. So my lights are on, the air conditioning is working and so is my electric kettle to make tea. It might be all day or longer before the co-op can restore power.

Those auto generators are lifesavers in rural areas! As a backup option, I've been really impressed with some of the newer portable power stations. You can compare options on gearscouts.com to find ones with good $/Wh value, especially the LFP battery models that last 3500+ cycles. They're silent and can run indoors unlike gas generators.
