reminder that without a safe form of heating your residence during a black out, or charging a phone (cell towers will likely be without power too, so who cares? ) that your car is only useful for heating and charging for a short while, have a better plan than this for winter

 have a plan for most common emergencies... and learn how to heat your place safely, without carbon monoxide and carbon Dioxide poisoning, or a fire getting out of control, and back up lighting. 

This photo was from Feb 2021 when people were photographed charging their cell phones and warming up inside a vehicle in Austin, Texas.

 The area had been without power since early the day before. Huge winter storms plunged large parts of the central and southern United States into an energy crisis as frigid blasts of Arctic weather crippled electric grids and left millions of Americans without power amid dangerously cold temperatures.
