That first night was a beautiful evening, so a lot of people slept on the rooftops. By the second day, the dark, the heat, the reek of rotting food, and the terrifying risk crossing the street started to get really old. <br /><br />Thanks for your story, and I'm glad the commute home was safe and not too terrible. I was fortunate in 2003 to be within walking distance of my home when the blackout hit.<br /><br />And Brother David is right. The power grid is way too vulnerable.Counterlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345956180434795401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238382886103256219.post-30967226656419871112011-09-09T21:23:43.686-07:002011-09-09T21:23:43.686-07:00Shocking that one worker in AZ could cause that mu...Shocking that one worker in AZ could cause that much havoc, by accident.
