Forky tends to be right more often then not -
Yeah, but if they drop it and it were to materialize

This close in... Why not wait the extra six or so hrs?

$#&$$&$#$$&-_''"_!

Yeah... To me, I wouldn't shift east tbh (but we all know that already lol)

Negan comes out after 25 days of no power.

One of the major issues is cellular towers that crash, and along with it emergency communications (run off the same towers). Then we have issues with pumping gas as most do not have generators. Many times, you have wires down for days. Then you have traffic light issues and crashes due to this. Mass transit (trains) stop. Food in grocery stores spoil. Ports stop functioning properly. Water becomes contaminated. Hospitals have no power after a certain time frame as well.

A Cat 3 hurricane barreling into CT would be catastrophic for your power grid

Sandy was up to 24 (28?) days in some areas of Long Island.
-
All due respect and not to be rude, but from an emergency management point of view, you are both dead wrong. Prolonged power outages are incredibly disruptive, expensive and dangerous.

Prolonged power outages are a pretty huge deal tbh. Not the structural damage that flooding is... But a huge issue nonetheless.

The maintenence I was referring to was in regard to preventative maintenance. Too many trees are dead and are not taken away.

Aren't you a coin or something

I'm still saying Sayville.

Now that we questioned it. It's going to explode

Yeah. That's what I'm wondering. If this thing never gets its act together, it becomes nothing.
-
It's a combination or weather, lack of maintenance and over population. The grids were built a long time ago. They are yet to be update in a true fashion. Meanwhile the NE and W coasts (TX also) continue to become increasingly populated. Strain increases, maintancece continues to decrease and the situation spirals.
-
Part of that is also because of what happened in 2003. An effort was made to isolate certain parts of the grid, while also having infrastructure to divert power to in case of emergency. The former was much easier than the later.
