Almost a week after the D.C. area was pummeled with raging storms, many individuals are still suffering in the July heat without lights, phone lines, and, perhaps most importantly, air conditioning.
In the immediate aftermath of this event, tens of thousands of Washingtonians, Marylanders, and Virginians were left without power. Storms across the country had similar effects, and Americans from Richmond to Detroit are still facing the summer heat without many basic comforts.
As awful as this is, things could be even worse. Imagine for a moment that that the power never came back on.

Ping.
Get use to misery, 0bama voters.
It’s going to be this way with 0bama in office.
0bama likes us to be miserable. Makes him happy.
Doesn’t matter who you are, what color you are, where you come from.
We’ll all be thrown under the bus, maybe we already have.
VOTE HIM OUT!
Good work, if you can get it...
“There must be lots of money in fear-mongering.”
I know a lot of people who made a lot of money during the Y2K scam.
Yes because we know that no great empires have ever fallen in the entire history of the world.
Y2K was a real threat that was wisely diverted thru a great deal of money and effort.
Calling it a scam is like describing the flood risk along the Mississippi as a scam.
Oh I dunno, just because you test some software and it fails doesn’t mean it will fail when the clock really ticks over, does it?
“There must be lots of money in fear-mongering.”
Yes, there is a rash of EMP articles every four months.
Remember all the Y2K “control centers” and “disaster control rooms” that were put in with Fed money? Find ONE now.
I’m set up for EMP..
I lucked into some almost free solar panels. Enough to
run fans,lights, my QRP ham gear, and stuff like the microwave
for short bursts. Got a selection of ham and other gear set up
to survive (I hope) and if need be I can whip up some simple ham gear from parts.
I hope my hard drives survive if this ever happens, got 6TB of data I’d hate to lose.
If it meant never having to hear Atlantic coasters whining again, I’d launch an EMP against them right now. You lost power for a few days, get over it and stfu
I agree. A lot of coders worked very hard, and worked long, grinding hours to built workarounds or otherwise changed vulnerable coding for essential programs. Since then, they have always been sort of like heroes to me. :o)
As I understand it, if it only has two places for the year and needs four, yes.
The best (and only real) preparation is falling into the hands of our loving Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is coming soon to take us out of here before He brings this judgment on the world. If you haven't received Him as your Savior, why not do it now? Just ask Him to come into your heart. It's that simple - but the results are profound because His death on the cross made it all possible by His grace.
Interesting, we had this same type storm in Memphis on July 22, 2003 and it was practically ignored by the mass media.

People using religion as an excuse not to prepare are as bad as liberals nitwits. One is waiting for God to rescue them from something they should have planned for and the other is waiting on the government to rescue them.
I think we'd actually be better off once we made the necessary adjustments.
No more cable TV or Internet or surveillance drones would not be all bad.
That’s because Tennesseans don’t really know how to whine and bellyache. A large percentage of the population in the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia corridor (with it HUGE number of federal employees and large population of government handout entitled/dependent individuals) have it down to a science. I should know, I live in the People’s Democratic Republic of Maryland and suffer hearing that whining all the time.
