DuncanWaring : " The nearest replacement was somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
To get it to Phoenix, it had to be transported by barge to Los Angeles, then by heavy-lift truck to Phoenix."

Now imagine:
#1 -no power for communication (landline/ cellphone) to determine that there is a need for a transformer.
#2 -no gas or diesel since there was no power for the pumps for ships to load into bunker tanks.
#3 - no power for gas or diesel pumps for trucking
There you have it in a nutshell: No power = CHAOS !
