More than 2.9 million electric customers in Texas were without power at one point Monday afternoon after Beryl made landfall. Power was slowly being restored across the state in the wake of the storm, but outages Tuesday afternoon remained above 2 million, according to PowerOutage.us.

Intense heat and humidity paired with the outages created dangerous conditions that will persist throughout the week.

Outages may last for days, which will not only be dangerous for those without access to air conditioners, but also families who are struggling with food security, as food being stored in refrigerators and freezers may spoil.

Only one problem for these folks: Their Cell Towers had already been knocked out by then. And the electricity also.

I have AM/FM handheld radios that work with AA batteries, which are easier to find than 9V batteries, in some cases.

I have an Eton - Scorpion II hand crank/solar screen AM/FM/NWS radio.

I have a handheld ham radio transceiver. I have no license, but would transmit in an Emergency.

I have a Harbor Freight - Viking Compact Power Pack / Car Battery Jumper that I can use to charge a device.
