Without electrical power (where I live), I would not have been able to send a message similar to yours, as I would have lost my router, Internet, TV, and landlines, plus both of my mobile phones. Also, I would not have been able to light my gas range, unless I had a box of those long(er) matches safely hidden away, somewhere (???).
