Well, We down here can breathe just a little bit more easy than the rest of the country.
Texas has its own electrical grid separate and apart from the rest of the country. ;-)
And what makes it impossible to attack? Its hooked up to the internet just like the others. In fact with the border situation taking it out would really open things up.
Those of us who have lived near the Gulf for a while or at least since pre-Ike know a thing or two about living without power. Going to be interesting to see how all those Yankees down here do though when a hurricane does hit.
Having the internet go down is, IMO, much more of an issue than anything. At least 99 percent of all business transactions are now handled electronically. At least we used to have hard copies in the file of everything and it wasn’t all stored off in the clouds somewhere.
I have a backup generator to keep my refrigerators and freezer running and a window AC unit or two. I have BBQ pits and gas grills to cook food, but need ways to keep the serfs from stealing my food. Guess I'll b carrying my .45 cal. M1911 when I am doing that.
The TX grid will be the first stop for those OTMs crossing the border.
