Earlier today, something happened.
Going about our day, we noticed, hey the power is out. Next, cellphones, oh wait none of us have cellphones?! Internet? NO!!!!!! We are disconnected. I was in the jungle with one of my best brothers walking around cutting down the jungle with machetes!
Jokingly talking about how it could be the apocalypse and we wouldn't know. At that moment we didnt realize out of our little bubble we were closer than we imagined. Almost the entirety of Central America was without power!!! We drove into town, nothing was open and handt been since the morning. The only market that was open on its tiny generator, enough to run the registers only. Lines extended out the door......
What Local Costa Rican Officials Had to Say!
"ICE is trying to diagnose the problem," said Communications Minister Mauricio Herrera, referring to the office by its Spanish acronym. He said that workers succeeded in restoring power to some areas of Costa Rica.
ICE said that the origins of the blackout were outside of the country and urged the public to remain indoors while they try to fix the problem.In Panama, the ETESA government power authority said via Twitter that the nation had experienced just a "partial blackout" and that workers were trying to restore power to the affected areas.The blackout in Panama occurred about 15 minutes into a major speech delivered by President Juan Carlos Varela to the country's legislature.
THIS WAS A WARNING SHOT!
You can bet we are headed to stock up the rest our reserves. This was a test. Our local company has no idea what happened, and to see it extend over all these countries. We were already joking about being prepared. This was proof of concept. Airports were shut down, luckily my friend who was supposed to catch her flight accidentally booked it wrong. She would have been able to go no where. Gridlock and none of the systems were open or online. Considering our thoughts while we had no idea what was going on wasn't actually far off is incredible. We are now going to prepare for these events more often. Waiting to hear what they think it was. This was proof of how little time it would take before everything was in total disarray!
This is proof of why we live in the jungle with a greenhouse, solar, water storage, and believe it or not, we have about a months supply of back up food always here in reserve. We will be doubling down on it now!
We even checked in with friends 
Thank you for following along our journey with the Arcane Bear!
