Metros, gated subdivisions, houses of worship, primary schools and water/gas/electricity/refining infrastructure hit hardest; blue areas suffer worst.
Red areas will be hit, but our LEOs, particularly Sheriff’s teams will have the best weaponry. Civilians in red areas will either BE armed or are close to their ‘battle’ arms.
Red areas will be far more resilient. Blue areas will see horrifying body counts.
The terrorists will post it all on the web.
If you want the full AAR, read Kurt Schlichter’s book “the Attack.” While he penned the book, he spoke with a lot of folks in the know for good background.
Two plus decades ago I was sitting at a DFW gate waiting to board a flight delayed by approaching severe thunderstorms. I watched the wind move the tail end of a 737 away from the adjacent gate’s jetway.
That was the day a Delta jet attempting to land at DFW got caught in a down draft (outflow) from the storm and crashed just short of the threshold. You could see the black smoke from our gate. Very sad.
These rotating bar switches obviated the local operator to complete a local call. The switches connected physical wires, circuits, to make an electrical connection to a specific residence or business set of wires. No more operator plugging A to B. The plug (then switch) connected a pair of wires called tip and ring, a terminology that persisted for decades, even when the technology advanced to digital switches, as did the term twisted pair.
Rings were caused by 40 volts DC flowing down that circuit . That voltage could knock you on your butt.
They worked by creating ‘clicks’ the rotating bar analog switches could ‘hear’. Each rotation back to “O” ‘told’ the switch the digit based on the clicks back to “O”. These old switches could accommodate 3 to 7 digit dialing with no issues. It took the newer versions to to handle 1+ 10 digit dialing. Otherwise the operator had to connect an interexchange (long distance) call.
People knew their local exchange name. We were Elgin and then Pelham. You could ‘dial’ 4 digits within the exchange to call a neighbor or 7 digits to call another local exchange. Thus we were 0178 and 5550, respectively.
