Other Helene stuff I took note of:

- AT&T was completely down for us but Verizon and its MVNOs were up

- I had a Verizon MVNO secondary e-sim that came free with a home internet plan, unused until the hurricane hit

- It worked pretty well!

- The day the Verizon disaster internet trucks showed up at the police station in our town my Verizon MVNO internet went down

Non-internet learnings:

- Fill up your vehicle’s fuel or battery before any big storm, we spent a lot of time siphoning and otherwise consolidating fuel to get ourselves and neighbors out of town, particularly because we didn’t know how far we’d have to go to find a gas station with electricity
