    Yep, trust me, if I am gonna purposely disrupt a grid, it isn't going to be burning up a circuit breaker. You wouldn't be back up and running for weeks if not months.

    Another thing that had my woo meter pegged out was: It wasn't being reported on the MSM.

    Getting most of our info from the internet-thru good sources. Some mention here, there on MSM no big deal.

    It was like don't want to panic the masses, just give them bread and circus.
