I would guess that power disruption to any of our homes is more likely from a local problem be it a squirrel, snow storm, hurricane, earthquake, lightning or the neighbor kid with his car hitting a pole down the street. Then it is from a terrorist, or hacker attack.

But that doesn’t mean we should ignore the possibly of a terrorist attack on the power grid. I don’t know that I have any say in any of the ways the power can be interrupted.

Hopefully understanding power can be loss, and that it will be done beyond our control and that it’s somewhat Vidal to our lives, we should work on a way to provide it when it’s disrupted. Be it a terrorist or the neighbor kid in his hot rod car it’s probably not going to be down more then 3-days.

A generator and fuel for a week and a plan to conserve electricity would probably get any one of us through an outage, even a terror or hacker attack.

You may become somewhat popular with your neighbors when they see the lights on at your home.

Stealth may be a consideration.
