No. If we know anything it's that this is a fire hazard:

Blah blah sympathies expressed (No, really.) but we have to wonder, were landlines working through all this or were their generators/lines flooded too? Whatever. Either way, people need juice.

Good thing it looks like it's on a fire truck.*

What's the four-eyed fuck looking at?

A buok? I've heard about them. I don't think they need batteries.

..were landlines working through all this..?

Landlines typically hold up better than wireless networks OR power grids but with something like this all bets are off.

*Those wall warts are low voltage out and don't draw much current. That's really not as bad as it looks.

Those are only adapters mostly; you can touch your tongue to the kind of juice they're drawing.

Flooded basement 'phone rooms probably not ideal.

iPhone chargers do 5 volts, might do an amp or two. Not FUN to lick, but perfectly lickable.

A good 9v battery can do an amp.
