You Never Miss The Water Till The Well Runs Dry

The recent outages caused by Storm Éowyn has highlighted how much we
take electricity, mobile phones and broadband for granted.
The power outages had a knock-on effect leaving people without telecommunications and water.
The situation in remote areas of the west of Ireland has been described as a "humanitarian crisis" by a Galway GP as some people are without means to cook, heat their homes, or contact neighbours or emergency services since last Friday

Hadn't realised the situation was so bad there.

We often take power for granted. We lost power for several days in an ice storm and it’s hard to imagine living without it. Love the light cutting through the darkness. V

as the weather gets ever wilder perhaps we must all re-think emergency preparedness...basic supplies should be shored up as conditions become ever harsher...a potent image that speaks of desperatiion..

So true about not missing something til we don't have it. We are so dependent on so much these days. I hope things can resolve readily for everyone affected in Ireland. A gorgeous shot, though, to go with those words. V
