@themarkymark so sorry about this. It might be hard for you all to adjust to the sudden change but it's good that somehow you have improvised a means especially on keeping your foods from spoiling...

On a lighter note tho, in my country.. We are so used to such...
It's our norm..
No light/electricity , no water for a week even some months..
And in some other areas.. Up to a year...

So really y'all are lucky that everything would be fixed back in no time...

In the mean time... Keep exploring different ways to keep your foods and do other things you couldn't do with electricity and water pending when everything gets back to normal...
