Do you remember the electrical outage that occurred in the midwest and east coast regions, in the early 2000's?

One of the things that I remember, is that fresh water became an instant problem - for millions of people.
Also, houses quickly became uninhabitable, without electricity and running water.

We wrote quite a bit about it, and I had a friend at "Ground Zero", here in Akron. FirstEnergy (formerly Ohio Edison) was at the center of it all.

They spun it, but, basically, some branches hit power lines. Nature and stupidity created the problem. The branches caused power lines to blow, and the domino effect happened. We learned a lot from that, but there is still a huge vulnerability factor in how we transfer power.

Although, I'm impressed and may have to issue another rare, I was wrong, post because this heat wave hasn't done the power damage it could of, and maybe because of the this past event, it made us more prepared.

I laughed at the TV comedy show, REVOLUTION, which showed life 10 years after power went out the world over...HA, HA, very funny show.

I've been through 3 hurricanes, a Typhoon and winter blizzards where power went out, and some areas didn't get it back for weeks.

But, thanks for this reminder. Because we old farts, have experienced these things, we have a better understanding of what life becomes under these little seen conditions.

In May of 1970, TANKS rolled through the streets of Kent, OH, where martial law had been declared and after the May 4 shootings, you knew they weren't kidding around and would shoot to kill.

Unimaginable for millennials to even consider blackouts or martial law, which makes them an easy target for when it happens.

For me, preppers are a joke. They are just as clueless as can be when it comes to real life survival situations, when, perhaps the taking of a life for survival may be the choice they face.
But, that being said and all, still be a good little scout and

BE PREPARED.
