Please post if you have a blackout on or around these dates: Nov. 12, 13, 14
Update: Blackout For November Confirmed: Power Grid Drill Nov 13, 14, 2013


At this very moment, thousands of experts in both the utility industries, military and various government security agencies across the United States, Canada and Mexico are preparing for an emergency drill. The drill, which will simulate both physical and cyber attacks on the power grid has been set for November 13[SUP]th[/SUP]-14[SUP]th[/SUP].
Our shared power resources are vulnerable to attack and in the opinion of many, destined to be hit. Former Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano described an attack as being, not a question of if, but a question of when.
A blow to the grid that resulted in a shutdown would result in a tremendous amount of chaos, civil unrest and ultimately deaths due to violence and a lack of food and water. Inevitably a declaration of martial law would follow such an instance. The human suffering and condition would have us clamoring in the streets for everyday necessities.
No power means there would be no supply of water, gasoline, diesel, frozen food, fresh food, medicines and communications, as all of these are dependent upon electricity for either their delivery or maintenance.
This will be no small operation. It is reported, in fact, to be the largest drill of its type by several times over anything ever done before. Over 150 companies and organizations have signed on as participants.
 
Out of curiosity how did you come up with the dates? I didn't see them in the article unless i overlooked it
 
Most people know the power-grid system could be improved. I have long proposed generators for each municipality or something of that nature.

To quote The Strokes "Alone we stand, Together we fall apart."
 
I did not come up with the dates. I had a source let me know the date and I did a search. All info I found repeated the same dates.
 
Cool...thanks for the heads up :) going to get gas for the generator
 
Yes, I told my husband we need to make sure everything is charged. This scripture came to mind.

Matthew 16:3
And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
 
I strongly urge everyone to stock up on tinfoil today and
stay up all night fashioning yourselves tinfoil-hats.
Heck, might as well line your whole roof with it. Better safe than sorry.
But make sure you have your tinfoil hat ratcheted tightly to your head,
especially if you have to go outside for even a few seconds.
 
Hoarding gas is a crime punishable by the law...

Just kidding. I'm not falling for this crap either.
 
I just don't believe the US gov't or news media has the Christians best interest at heart. I also believe they control the media. So, I don't search for any major news source to give me the truth about certain events. I personally use discernment I also have a man of God over me who watches for my soul. Be Blessed.

Lol not hoarding just enough for a couple days! Ohio weather is always so unpredictable....either we get no snow, tons of snow or just enough snow/ice to knock out the power for a few days

Also find this really interesting about EMP's. This came out Israeli National News

North Korea is prepared, probable target the USA. Iran is not far behind and has already told the world its intentions.


Defending America and the World
What is to be done about the Cyber and EMP threats?
There is no excuse for the United States to be vulnerable to EMP or to the worst case cyber scenarios as depicted in American Blackout. The U.S. Department of Defense has understood for 50 years how to protect military systems from EMP. Private vendors specializing in EMP protection are standing by with faraday cages, surge arrestors, blocking technology, ready to protect the national electric grid.
Technically, it is important to understand that surge arrestors and other hardware designed to protect against EMP can also protect against the worst-case cyber scenarios that, for example, envision computer viruses collapsing the national power grid. For example, surge arrestors that protect Extra High Voltage transformers from EMP can also protect transformers from damaging electrical surges caused by a computer virus that manipulates the grid Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition Systems (SCADAS).
Unfortunately, the electric power industry so far shows no inclination to invest in the technologies necessary to protect the national electric grid. The congressional EMP Commission estimates that robust protection of the national electric grid could be achieved for a one-time investment of $2 billion--which is what the U.S. gives every year in foreign aid to Pakistan. The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) estimates that EMP protection of the national grid would increase the electric bill of the average rate payer by 20 cents annually.
Administratively, a coherent and effective answer will not likely arise from uncoordinated decisions made independently by the thousands of individual electric utilities and industries at risk. Because cyber preparedness should encompass EMP preparedness--and since EMP is an existential threat--it is imperative that Government play a supervisory and coordinating role to achieve protection against these threats swiftly:
--The President should sign the Executive Order provided to the White House by the Congressional EMP Commission directing that the national electric grid shall be protected against EMP;
--The Congress should pass the SHIELD Act, which has been stalled before the House Energy and Commerce Committee for three years. SHIELD empowers the U.S. FERC with legal and financial authorities to protect the national grid from EMP;
--States should not wait for Washington, but should immediately launch their own legislative initiatives, as done already by the State of Maine, to protect that portion of the electric grid within their states. States can "island" their grids, which will in no way impede their ability to receive or export electric power from or to other states, and thereby protect their people from an EMP catastrophe.
--Industry should start manufacturing Extra-High Voltage (EHV) transformers, SCADAS, and other critical technologies hardened against EMP. Defense Department experience with hardening military systems has shown that, when systems are built with EMP protection as part of the original design, it only adds 1-3 percent to manufacturing cost. As old EHV transformers are retired and other systems are replaced with new systems designed EMP hard, not only the United States, but the entire Free World would eventually become protected from an EMP catastrophe.
The Unfree World, Russia and China, have already hardened their grids against EMP. Israel may have done the same - and if it has not, there is no time to be lost.

As the original post stated I wanted any unusual activity to be posted.

Amazing: Our tornado siren just went off for our county, we have 3 clouds in the sky and snow on the ground. This is unusual for us because when we have drills they are on Fridays at 12:00pm.
