This is actually good practice for when the Democrats finally manage to destroy the electric grid.
Was there time enough for another baby-boom?

Assume terrorism until otherwise confirmed.
Hamas, China or Iran?
“He stepped to the window and pointed to the skyscrapers of the city. He said that we had to extinguish the lights of the world, and when we would see the lights of New York go out, we would know that our job was done.”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
A colleague showed up late to a meeting last week. Someone said she got stuck in an elevator and had to be pulled out of the roof hatch.
She didn’t even mention it when she showed up and I forgot to ask.
Reality in the cities is now the setting for some dystopian novel.
Is it time to start naming East Coast power outages, like the Weather Channel names snowstorms? We can call this one Sandy, after AOC.
Get ready for real outages compliments of the One World Government answer to “climate something or other”, instituted by King Obama,Biden,Soros, G. Turdburger, et al.
That is one heck of a fast response time if FDNY was rescuing people from elevators during a 2 minute blackout.

Somebody holding a grudge against The Con Edison?
for some reason, i just don’t care.
That’s hardly alarming. People get stuck in elevators all the time. “Up to 20 minutes”? Gimme a break.
No wind or solar backup power? There's always cut-the-cable gravity assist.
People wonder what would happen after an EMP attack. Demonrat cliff dwellers would be getting plenty of stair-stepper exercise. One EMP attack might well be the sudden death of the Demonrat Party.
Shucks. I thought Klaatu showed up.
Hope they were able to rescue all those democrats stuck on the escalators.
Maybe this X flare caused an overload in transmission lines or in a power substation which caused a breaker to kick in and shut everything down?
Thoughts?

"(UPDATED) STRONGEST FLARE OF THE CURRENT SOLAR CYCLE: Sunspot 3514 erupted on Dec. 14th (1702 UT), producing a strong X2.8-class solar flare. This is the strongest flare of Solar Cycle 25 (so far) and the most powerful eruption the sun has produced since the great storms of Sept. 2017. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:
Radiation from the flare has caused a deep shortwave radio blackout over the Americas: blackout map. Ham radio operators may have noticed loss of signal at all frequencies below 30 MHz for more than 30 minutes after the flare.""
No, no. Peasants burn charcoal in closed rooms to stay warm. That is why you now have laws mandating carbon monoxide detectors in every damned house/apt.
Actual gas furnaces leaking CO are vanishingly rare. But, dumb butts burning incompletely oxidized “wood” in a closed room and not noticing that family is collapsing is why YOU have an extra expense.
