When we lost power for 2 weeks during the ice storm, my grandmother refused to let us run a space heater in her room from a genset. She kept referring to the utilities estimate that power would be restored by 5pm on Sunday (in just a few hours). Look out the window. There's 2 miles of down power lines. You don't fix 2 miles of down power lines out in the boonies in a few hours when cities have priority.

For some older folks it's quite hard to let some habits go.
