This afternoon at about noon a terrorist knocked out the power for my entire town
by hitting the power poles with a truck in a stratigic spot.

Many cities in the U.S. only have one main set of power lines to supply the
entire city with electricity, without any backups or redundent power lines.
This is a major weakness in the nation's power grid that could be easily
exploited by terrorists, like it was today.

There could be other attacks on the power grid in other cities.
So be prepared for when the power goes out in your city for 6 or more hours.
