TM, too.
No Water, toilets, Airports, Hospitals, Veterinarian offices, Funeral homes, (bodies piling up) traffic lights, unrest in the ghettos, etc. What happens in jails?...

In a real disaster, what’s to keep our nuclear facilities from melting down?
They would be turned loose because the guards wouldn't be there and can't let the criminals starve to death and smell up the place.
The main state prison in Texas is in Huntsville, TX, 20 miles south of me. When those guys get out now, they get on a bus in Huntsville, and go to Galveston. How do I know that? Because I psychologically tested criminals in Galveston, Texas, and there they were having gotten out of Huntsville.
They head down Hwy. 45 and don't stop until they get to the beach in Galveston. There is a half way house there that keeps them for a relatively short period of time and Texas Rehab. at that time wanted them tested to see if they were a lost cause or not and that's what I did, test them.
When they have to leave the half way house, they live on the beach - any non-criminal going there after sundown was risking his/her life. They had nothing to eat and would burglarize houses, eat out of garbage cans, do anything they had to in order to eat. One I was testing hadn't had any food that day and it was afternoon. I took a sandwich out of my bag and gave it to him - who knows, maybe I kept someone from getting mugged.
I just know the Huntsville criminals won't stay in Huntsville, they will head to the shore, they always do.
Can't feed 'em, gotta release 'em!
If they shut down the electrical grid how will that affect the distribution of natural gas? I believe the pipelines require compressor stations along their length to make up for friction which reduces line pressure and thus volume of gas delivered per unit time. If the compressors are engine driven by duel fuel engines, no problem. If however, the compressors are driven by electric motors we could be in for some chilly days come November.
It has been known to freeze in Wisconsin in November and occasionally it snows. Anybody know for sure what happens to the pipelines when the electric grid winks out?

I've got a 17KW alternator w/ an automatic transfer switch. It will carry all the 120 VAC loads (lighting, furnace, sump pumps, and such. It supplies enough 220 for my deep well pump but if the gas pressure dies with the electric I'll need to rig for propane to get by.
Last month, the NYTObama ran an article about the grid "stress test" they want to run. Now we read this.
Just last week, Aunt Janet warned us in her farewell address that A massive and serious cyber attack on the U.S. homeland is coming, and a natural disaster the likes of which the nation has never seen is also likely on its way.
Come autumn, we may be in for a wild ride.
