Alabama Power Outage Leaves Residents Fuming Over Lack of Common Sense in Emergency Plans
Can someone explain why we’re sitting in the dark with no backup plan? Just had another Alabama power outage here in Birmingham—three hours and counting. No warning, no updates, and the utility company’s hotline is busy. I’m seeing neighbors scrambling for flashlights and ice chests, but this isn’t rocket science: stock up on batteries, keep a generator handy, and maybe the city could trim some trees near power lines before the next storm hits. Common sense, people. Anyone else tired of the excuses?
