I work in Western Washington but my bug out location is in Eastern Washington, I work until Tuesday.
Like would the blackout be so bad I can't drive my car? I have my BOB and other essentials on me at all times. My current plan is that if the blackout happens I am hitting the road immediately.
I’m guessing that electric distribution is rather sticky. A nationwide outage would be a concerted effort across all 50 states. (I live in PA - generally speaking, there are no high tension lines crossing the Delaware.).
