#power failures

Excerpt from this story from the New York Times:

The growing risk of overlapping heat waves and power failures poses a severe threat that major American cities are not prepared for, new research suggests.

Power failures have increased by more than 60 percent since 2015, even as climate change has made heat waves worse, according to the new research published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. Using computer models to study three large U.S. cities [Atlanta, Detroit, Phoenix], the authors estimated that a combined blackout and heat wave would expose at least two-thirds of residents in those cities to heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

And although each of the cities in the study has dedicated public cooling centers for people who need relief from the heat, those centers could accommodate no more than 2 percent of a given city’s population, the authors found, leaving an overwhelming majority of residents in danger.

“A widespread blackout during an intense heat wave may be the deadliest climate-related event we can imagine,” said Brian Stone Jr., a professor at the School of City & Regional Planning at Georgia Institute of Technology and the lead author of the study. Yet such a scenario is “increasingly likely,” he said.

So my neighborhood has had five minor power failures within the last couple minutes, here in the states where that huge winter storm has come in.

I'm not sure if it will spread but I want to have other Americans prepped just in case.

Please try to conserve energy where you can, make sure you keep warm if your power goes off and doesn't come back on - wear several layers and if you have blankets or anything to cover your body sufficiently, keep them with you at all times. Prep drinks and soup that can be easily reheated while the electricity is on. Anything and everything that can be done to stay warm and safe. It's risky right now to go somewhere else in the conditions anyway but there's an additional chance that it may not be any better in terms of power somewhere else. And it's okay to be scared right now, normally we don't experience anything like this.
