Timeline Of Events Following A Long Term Grid Down Catastrophe

• https://modernsurvivalblog.com, By Ken J.

However, "what if" the entire power grid went down here in America? A catastrophic long term grid down. Surely that would never happen, right? "Come on man!" No way…

What if one of several potentially possible events actually brought the grid down all across the country? Without debating the aspects of causation, I wonder what might be the cascading timeline of resulting events following a long term grid down disaster? I would like to present an opinion about what might happen versus hours, days, weeks, etc.. afterwards.

Originally published back during 2015, I decided to revisit this and re-post given the recent talk on the blog regarding X-flares, CME's, and grid down.

Most of those who are preparedness-minded know and realize that they cannot count on government to 'save them' in the thick of a major and overwhelming disaster such as the aforementioned hypothetical long term grid down situation. Unfortunately the vast majority of people presume that there is a plan. And that regardless of the disaster, their government will step in and 'provide' for them. It will save them, so to speak. It will all 'get fixed'. In the terrifying event of a long term grid down, this assumption will prove to be deadly.
