Almost two years ago our area of CT experienced an extremely severe microburst which is apparently a wind storm just shy of tornado magnitude. Beyond trees and other less important things, we lost all services - electricity, cell phones, internet - all the things we so typically take for granted and think we can’tive without. The only thing that remained working throughout the almost two week period was our personal land line. Needless to say, I won’t be giving it up anytime soon.
