A pretty good episode, actually.
Reminds me of the short story which they made into an episode on Rod Serling’s, “Night Gallery” tv show.
“The Boy Who Predicted Earthquakes”

starring Clint Howard (brother of Ron Howard) and who also starred in the tv show, “Gentle Ben.”
I think the short story was better than the Outer Limits episode.
I wonder what a remake would look like, such as people checking the internet and watching the world-wide burn online before sitting in the dark, unable to do anything.
