The Corporate Overlords would fill the streets of Washington D.C. with the blood and heads of their politician lackeys.

I seem to remember that some times when we are in the middle of drills .. those events actually happen. 9/11 for instance. I'll be interested to see if anything comes of this actually happening on those dates.

If its happening in your area, mark it on your calender, and keep your bug out bags handy on that day, just in case it turns into a reality.

This thread should be stickied to showcase how over-dramatic most people are on this forum. The OP posts an article fully explaining that simple tests will be done to our power grid and most of you, without reading the article, jumped the gun proclaiming something bad is going to happen, people will starve to death and millions will die. Do any of you not see something wrong with that? It's absolutely disgusting how sadistic some of you people are, you should be ashamed.

Really....don't they remember what happened when the real thing happened?
Sheesh.
I remember it well....in 2003.
Basically no radio.
NO cable, no internet, no cell phones.
NO power.
It totally sucked.
