Original Message All major electric transmission lines have been destroyed.

All the big towers that deliver power to the city have been knocked over. They're gone...

You have over 1.2 million people grouped together in a low lying swamp surrounded by limited transport access.

You can't pump gas because there is no electricity...

The water is in a similar situation... with major power down, it's only a matter of time before backup generators (if they're still functioning) will run out of fuel.

You can't charge your cell phones because most people don't have ways to charge up without a connection to a power line or running car.

How long can we expect your average city dweller to survive without their digital distractions, a warm meal, and clean water?

No lights.

No 911 services.

And it will take the city a week...

1 week... just to assess the damage and repair plans for the big power transmission lines... before any recommended repairs are sent for...

Then there is the task to bring in the materials, machinery, and labor to build new giant power transmission towers.

How much longer will that take?

And that doesn't even include the surface street power line repairs that will be needed to bring power to each city block and home.

Do you know what this means?
