OK, lets see how informed and ready you really are.
Monday mornig (tomorrow) you wake up without your alarm clock/radio whatever. You notice it is already light, but that nothing is on. You walk to the kitchen and flip the switch and nothing happens. Now, you go to the bathroom to do the thing, but again no lights. You assume that some drunk has again just hit a pole.
After a few minutes , you walk outside to get the morning paper and notice how dark the neighborhood is. Hmmm
A little while later , you go to your car, and guess what? It won't start ! Now what do you assume has happened ? You now try your trusty little I pod or your pod or whatever, and violla, no phone either. Now , this is you shtf moment. What do you think happened and what are you going to do ?
Now, after a little while, you or someone else decides to walk the 6-7 blocks to the nearest fast food or circle k and find them also closed. You are also begining to notice a lot more people standing around with there pockets. Are you begining to wonder yet. ? Keep in mind there are no comunications of any kind. Now, you see a stranger in a really old car/truck moving around. Have you connected the dots yet ? No, well how about maybe some guy a couple of blocks over has some solar back up and a ham radio and starts telling everyone that the entire grid from coast to coast seems to be down.
Now, the question of the day, what are you and yours going to do ? This should be considered a major event , possibly with no recovery in sight for at least two years if ever.
