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?

If we are talking about a ‘normal blackout’ and why the power went out, it could be a couple or hours or a day. If electrical wires were bought down due to a storm and what area, maybe a day or 2.
A ‘brown out’ where you will get flickering power, probably resulting from street wires hitting together causing an interruption to the voltage, in say high winds. I probably would turn off TV, computers but some people have surge protection outlets.
Now if a nuclear bomb was detonated above a country or even a couple of bombs causing an EMP, this will fry all electronic and electrical for good. This attack would send a country back to the 1850s.
Didn’t even think of that. Supplies chains and the larger the area, the longer the disruption to power.
