Outstanding report, thank you! I'm happy you were able to communicate with people through Meshtastic. I, for one, would be very interested to get a full article about how Meshtastic is working for you, how much it costs, how you set it up, etc. I believe many people would be interested in that.

You were actually able to go to a large department store, on the day of the power outage, and buy a solar panel and battery? Sounds pretty lucky. Were they even able to light up the inside of the store?
