It was no smooth transition for me..but not comparing to this. Relaxing? You have no idea..but again, just put that in as I have lived without electricity.. in our part of the country we have regular outages so even when we were on the grid, it was something we deal with regularly. Parts of our county were out of electricity for almost 2 weeks recently.

Hardly " hell on earth".

However it seems that the power grid in these places has been unreliable for many many years, and lack of electricity is not an unusual situation. So they have had time.
