North and South Carolina incoming
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Duke Energy projects nearly 1 million people will lose power in the Carolinas due to the looming winter storm.
The hazardous wintry precipitation and high-winds from the approaching winter storm would be the cause of the nearly 1 million power outages - some lasting several days - beginning Thursday in North Carolina and South Carolina https://www.wbtv.com/2021/02/17/nearly-million-power-outages-projected-carolinas-due-winter-storm/
Rolling blackouts in various states to send power elsewhere
organizations such as the Southwest Power Pool and Midcontinent Independent System Operator run parts of the grid from southern states up the middle of the country to North Dakota. Demand for power soared on their systems too as the extreme cold hit the south-central U.S. Both directed utilities to impose rolling outages this week to balance the demand and supply of power in an effort to avoid much greater blackouts, though only directives from SPP affected North Dakota.

Anyone else feel these power outages are suspicious? Even considering the weather . . .Looking at this from Zooropa
You can add VA to that list tomorrow when ice storm 2.0 hits us.
Haven’t had power for close to 48 hours. It’s a disaster!
How are you doing?
Cold, lucky to have a wood burning fireplace. Been chopping wood for the last hour. Spending a lot of time sitting in the car in my driveway for warmth from the heater and the ability to charge my phone
I'm glad you have those heat sources at least. I'll pray you've got some food you can heat up over that wood fire, and that real good comes out of this.
Thank you for the kind words Fren. It’s actually been eye opening for me on how to handle a situation like this. A trial run for a real disaster situation
The Redneck part of your name made me think you'd be better off than most.
The evil pandemic mental albatross keeps people without power from joining people with the fireplaces and bringing over food and having a good time.
10 Days of Darkness?
I keep thinking this, too. It makes sense.

It is interesting how one of Q's earliest posts seems like it was meant for now rather than back then.
