Personally, I cannot see the US power grid going down. I can't see civilian comms going down, it would descend into utter chaos VERY quickly. I think blackout means removal of good actors from twitter, socials etc.
That’s exactly it. I work in the power industry on power lines this would be a nightmare scenario if the military would want to do something everything would turn to anarchy.
Then what would be the point of saying it's "Continental us". Whatever it is we get our info from one place, there's no differentiation of whether it's Continental US or otherwise.
I think there's not going to be a power-blackout. But communication blackout yes (internet, telephone). And loss of that isn't as catastrophic as power blackouts, but it would make supply-chains harder (if not impossible) to do in a long-distance context.
