I guess these people have never heard of generators, propane heaters, among other things. You can also buy huge containers of water for a few dollars at Walmart. I know they have one of those down there.

Get these people some cans of sterno or a coleman propane camp stove (and some common sense). You don't need electricity to boil water. Light a small fire even.

This is why people have to buy generators if they're going to live in the South.

It’s called matches, a pot of water, a cooling rack, and tea lights or some type of candle. If you don’t have those, your neighbors do. Talk to each other.
