Um, most hotels on the west end and the beach DO in fact have generators and back-up water. Its us folks in the private homes that don't, lol. I've actually found that the power outage situation has gotten a lot better. Back when they were building Moondance our power went out everyday, like clockwork, at sunset because of something they did or were doing over there. This went on for three weeks and only affected the immediate neighborhood surrounding Moondance. I remember my friend/yardmate and I accosting a JPS truck that was stuck in traffic by Ricks, lol.
Good reporting Gerry and I know as well as you do that the "he who shall not be named" is so not a "nice guy" but I can understand the frustration when you make blanket and blunt statements that are just incorrect, for example saying "most" hotels on the West End do not have generators when in fact I'm scratching my head to figure out which ones don't - its misleading and could "scare off" potential guests who have never given the West End a try - and I'll admit I have friends that work, run and own these businesses, so pardon me for being protective
