Where is Trump now?
Where is he scheduled to be on Tuesday?
Which State's power grid is not connected to the National grid?

No problem

The GLP Effect has now been invoked. So far over many years the GLP Effect has worked 100% of the time. The grid is more secure now than it was before

Retired Grid Operator here, the US grid is separately divided into 3 sections Eastern, Western and ERCOT (Energy Reliability Council of Texas), yes Texas has its own grid. You can’t take all three down in one instance quit believing what you see in a Die Hard movie

My husband just received an urgent text from one of his clients. The text said that someone "in the know" informed them that our power grid would be taken down tomorrow. Assumes this will have an effect on cell phones and internet as well.

We are in Western North Carolina. Not sure if this will happen or only affect our area or wider. That is all he was told.

Just to be safe, fill your gas tanks and bath tubs (for drinking/flushing water). If nothing happens, at least you will have gas and can always just drain your tubs.

Stay safe out there and I pray this information does not come to pass. I picked a bad day to put 50 eggs in my incubator.

I just pulled my portable HAM radio out of my storage unit


(which has 0 cell signal. I also store it in a mini aluminum garbage can in a cardboard box with a Raspberry Pi and some financial documents on a USB)
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78641122


I pulled out my CBs and linears. Fired them up. Even the old crystal based Johnson worked. I live in rural area so expected no one to be talking.

Most cell sites have backup power.

Larger sites have generators.

All sites that I know of, have battery backup.
 Quoting: Swamprat


Cell towers and large antenna arrays on rooftops, billboards, water towers, etc. have battery back-up, but only really good for 8 hours or so.

Very few sites have generator back-up, and most of those generators are diesel powered and have no fuel storage on site. Those generators would need to be refueled every 24 hours or so...and as most towers have multiple carriers on them (AT&T, Verizon, etc.), not every carrier on that site will have its own generator (each carrier pulls their own independent power.)

Any widespread power outage lasting more than half a day, consider your mobile phone essentially worthless (unless it’s a sat phone.)

Most of the power on the east coast is coming from the Niagara Falls power generation stations.

If they take that offline it will throw most of the east coast of the USA and Canada into darkness.

I've been on glp 20 years and I know you've been here a while too..you should know that things never happen when we expect them...only when we aren't expecting them...anyway, hopefully the glp effect will take over if they do...i moved way out to 55 rural acres in the southeast five years ago knowing all this chaos was coming, people called me nuts, now I'm proven right,..

Thanks for all of the replies! As for timing, no time was given. Just tomorrow's date. And I don't know if my husband's client has a reliable source or not. But given recent events, we are planning like it's legit. If nothing happens, we needed to top off anyway.

Funny thing happened this morning. We woke up to no power.
I thought for sure this was IT! Turns out a squirrel shorted out our transformer and got electrocuted (poor thing). It took the electric company minutes to fix once they arrived. Hope this event wasn't a foreshadow of things to come but nothing would surprise me!

If you don't know Jesus, call out to Him in your hour of need! If you do, help those around you become acquainted with Him. He will be our only protection from what will transpire when no one can communicate!
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9

"It will be good for those servants whose master finds them WATCHING when he comes..."Luke 12:37

Been seeing 1:11 and 111 alot lately so it wouldn't surprise me.

Besides, the last time I called a nothing burger, we ended up having the whole Capitol mess.
I'll pass on nothing burgers for now lol

So let's see what happens.
