The Solar 'Katrina' Storm That Could Take Our Power Grid Out For Years

I lost power for 11 straight days when Hurricane Isabel hit. It was miserable. But then I could always go to my in-laws to stay. This is a bit different.

Looks like there are a few people here who dismiss the impact of going without electricity, even for a period of years. Just think about all of the people in the world's hospitals on life support, or having to go through surgery.

I don't think we realize how truly dependent we are on electricity.
