TFW your internet goes down and takes your smart home with it

I woke up last Tuesday to the sound of light rain patters on my window and walked over to my bedroom desk and turned my MacBook on. As my Chrome browser bounced in the app dock and tried to reload my last opened tabs, I watched, still sleepy-eyed, as they failed the load. I glanced up at the menu bar and saw the Wi-Fi icon showed full bars. "Alexa, turn on the bathroom lights," I said to my Amazon Echo as I dragged myself into my living room.
