So, when I used $500 in losses on average for people it might have been a little high regarding food. However, the loss of $250 in losses in perishable food is just for two people not for 4 or more. So, the average food losses might be more because of families with 2 children for example, which is quite common, even if only one parent is raising those 2 children. So, maybe a better average of losses of people from power outages would be 1 1/2 times $250 or $375 instead for 800,000 to 2,000,000 people's homes.
And this doesn't include business losses averaging $25,000 or more for supermarkets or delis or smaller food stores either or just businesses that couldn't even open to do business during the outages.
