I have no doubts that a blackout will be bad. Most likely VERY bad.
BUT i don’t think anyone has factored in that many Americans outside the blackout area will bring supplies to those inside the black out area. The government is not capable of handling something this big and people will take matters into their own hands. I do predict that “in the interest of safety” the gov’t will try to stop people from taking things in though.
Why isn’t this drill done in the summer months? In November, folks will freeze and be without water. Not everyone has a fireplace.
Americans outside the areas may want to help but the government will stop them just like they did with hurricane Irene and Sandy.
“I do predict that “in the interest of safety” the gov’t will try to stop people from taking things in though.”
It wont be a case of try, they will stop you.
The only way to get enough supplies into people over a large area is by truck and road.
They will shut the roads.
