When TIGER files are not present in the cache and must be loaded from Census servers, but those servers are unavailable for any reason, the result is an error that affects the most basic usage examples of epymorph.
This error is rare but unavoidable when it does happen, so we should improve the error messaging to clearly communicate to new users the source of the issue and what can be done to resolve it.
Improvements might be expanded apply to all usages of epymorph's cache mechanism, as the current error treatment is (probably, to be verified) similar.
