I guess if I had to pick my poison, I would take a water cut off, over an electric black out. I thought that the water outage was on the entire French side, and not limited to the Orient Village area.
We did have an electrical outage of about a half hour, one morning. I had previously purchased a light weight high priced lithium-ion battery for a trip to Africa ( but the electricity never went out in Morocco ). I plugged it into my CPAP machine, so that I could sleep through power outages. But, of course, the A/C cut off with the power, and the studio did start to get warm, before the power came back on.
