Ya it’s ok not to have electricity for a few hours. But just imagine how wrong everything would go. There was not enough cash in the banks for people to buy their necessities such as water. There is apparently no city water if there is no electricity. You couldn’t buy food or anything in stores because bank cards wouldn’t work and you usually don’t carry cash with you. So here we go for water and food. As for other things, nothing really works here in North America if there is no electricity. I wouldn’t mind watching the sky over night, all night, and forever. But trust me, 21st century living is impossible without electricity. It’s such a shame that we are so dependent on it that when it goes for a few hours, the city loses so much.
