Pretty sure a bank would have battery/ generator back up? It’s not the old school movies where you can cut the power and the security system goes down right?

You think every bank branch has a diesel generator to power the branch for days at a time? Nope. I would imagine the main alarm will run on batteries for a period but not for days and certainly not all the cameras and outside systems. Remember that these were detached ATM's. And not only land lines but cell service was down as well. No way for the system, even if powered, to notify anyone.

Just curious my man, but even if they did where would they most likely put a generator? On the ground, and what happens when huge amounts of waist deep & even deeper flood water comes into contact with an electrical machine? Auburn fan fits.

while most do, they aren't designed to be submerged

Networks were down, phone lines were down, doubt there was anyone around monitoring alarms, and if the police ever got a call they probably would not have responded.

Even if they had generator backup. Everything tied to their local network was down.
