Cell towers go down along with fiber and coax.

No cell phones or internet in a modern home with no VHS, DVD or Blu-Ray. Kids don't know about broadcast television. Just that his Fortnite/Minecraft/Roblox doesn't work.

Family would come home to a feral child and a destroyed home after the kid goes batshit without supervision.

Idk man...if it happened with my youngest...it depends on which Nintendo Switch is still in the house and which one came on the plane.

If it's the "primary switch", he'd be fine without Internet. We could probably leave for like 2 days and we'd come back and he'd not even realize we were gone and say he was hungry (while surrounded by junk food wrappers).

If it wasn't...and the internet was out...Lord help us.

Any storm big enough to knock out cell towers would probably ground all flights.

But if internet would have gone down, how would he have done that thing where he used gunshot sounds from the TV to scare the burglars away?
