I’ve been pondering this for a while now. I’d love to hear what others think will be involved. Will we lose all power or just the ability to communicate or receive any outside info apart from the emergency broadcast system?

I don’t think it’s going to be anything that we expect. I also don’t think it’s going to be across the entire nation. They keep saying we have this power grid that’s connected, but when one state is having problems, another is not. I think they can affect large swaths of big cities, and that’s where most of the problems in chaos would occur. Phoenix is the fourth largest city in the nation, and even in the outskirts, I don’t think there’s going to be chaos. We’re fully prepped, and ready to go. SRP and APS cover the entire valley, so they could pull some strings here like that. But whatever. To be perfectly honest, I’m really not concerned about it. It’s gonna do whatever they’re gonna do, and there’s nothing we can really do about it except for be prepared. More and more I’m into the camp of… Burn it to the ground. Let’s just get on with this. Furthermore, anytime Jesus wants to come back would be great. Then we could move on with the real plan that no one can stop what’s coming. Jesus’s plan
I remember when Ohio caused the Northeast blackout of 2003. We were on our way to a band pot luck. It really got scary because we couldn't pick up any stations on the car radio. The first thing we all thought at the dinner was another terrorist attack. Was not pleasant being without power and no ac in the middle of August!
This outage was huge!
I think there could be some accidentally-on-purpose 'oopsies' like this, where they could take down this much (or more), if they really wanted to.
I wasn’t aware of that. But also now that you know, people are preparing in advance. I live in Arizona, so I have contingency plans to make sure that if something like that happened in summer, I would not be without air-conditioning. If you’re on this forum, I am sure that you are already planning and prepping.
