    Of course I’m preaching to the choir, but here is another article which discusses just how vulnerable our power grid actually is.

    Small-scale power grid attack could cause nationwide blackout, study says

    Think about the ramifications of an 18 month blackout. Life as we know would truly be over, no coordination from law enforcement or even the military would be able to quell the civil unrest / riots which would erupt in a days as basic services would disappear overnight.

    It wouldn’t take long for people to realize that nobody is coming to save them and then the desperation would set in. I like to consider myself prepared but there is no doubt in my mind something like this would be a challenge to make it through…for any of us. Besides the food and water, your world is reduced to a 1/2 mile or mile radius…no readily available doctor’s office, no more internet for advice, no more money etc. That would be it, TEOTWAWKI.

    The more I prep the more I know I’m not prepped. Every little advantage helps though. Times like that arnt about living, just surviving and in my experience surviving sucks. I won’t ever throw in the towel though, I have people counting on me.

    PJ:

    Being in the trucking business, as is you father, if that happened the pumps would shut-off leaving trucks and cargo stranded all over the US. Nothing would get to the grocery stores or any other store for that matter. I can only imagine how ugly things would get and how quickly they would become deadly.
