(Milan Adams, PreppGroup) - By the time the first official statement reached the public, the statement itself no longer mattered.

Rumors traveled farther than verified information, speculation outran evidence, and for the first time in generations millions of people discovered how completely their understanding of the world depended on a stream of data they had always taken for granted. Historians would later argue over the precise moment the crisis began, but among engineers and emergency planners there was remarkably little disagreement. The collapse did not start when cities lost power. It started hours earlier, hidden inside measurements so small that they resembled ordinary background noise rather than the opening chapter of the largest infrastructure failure in modern history.
Three months before the blackout, engineers working at several independent transmission operators had submitted technical reports describing unusual synchronization anomalies affecting equipment connected to long-distance high-voltage networks. None of the incidents resulted in service interruptions. Most lasted only seconds before disappearing, leaving behind little more than…
Just got a survival book and a lot of stuff about the grid going down that I didn’t know about but I was already doing a lot
If the electricity goes, so does 90% of the population in a short period of time.
The SMELL, will be HORRENDOUS. You cant leave millions of bodies just laying around above ground.
Rats, disease, and so many unthinkable horrors await the remaining survivors.
When you think about THAT, the bullshit we put up with now on a daily basis doesn't seem so bad. 😳
