A moment's restored electricity; and complexities of achieving stability

Here’s the current situation.

We have regained electrical service for the moment.

We don't know if the electrical service will persist, because many are reporting their power going out again after having been restored.

Flickers and brownouts are keeping us watchful, especially considering the consequences to our most vulnerable community members.

There are also additional complications for those of us who have severe electrical sensitivities, with a list of very difficult physical health effects that return all at once with the electric.

I'm being hit pretty hard by that personally, and others as well, after the increased physical intensity of the past 8 days.

We're continually reevaluating the current situation — electrical and otherwise — reshifting priorities moment-to-moment based on what we have and what we need.
