Title: Power and Internet outages nationwide...SITREP please
Post by: mthrockmor on July 18, 2015, 02:09:39 PM
In the military (at least the Army) we have what is called a SITREP. Nothing sneaky, stands for SITuational REPort. Basically, report on what the situation is in your neck of the woods.
In conjunction with Jade Helm 15, which is a controversial military training in CONUS, South-West states, there are reports of power and internet outages in large cities across the country. I highly doubt these reports though I thought I would ask.
SITREP request. Please report the state of power and internet in your community.

It would take 3 months for my power to go out as I'm stocked up on fuel for the generator, as well as water, food, medicine, toiletries. No, I'm not a prepper, I'm married to an ex-Level 1 Trauma nurse who's job for a while was Disaster Coordinator for the entire hospital. :)
Plenty of ammo and game in the back yard after 3 months. 50 lbs of salt and sugar make good curing agents. :)
Keep in mind, we're all just one big solar flare away from being back in the stone age. Better to be prepared than dependent on a government or neighbors.

Boo, buddy, your request is illogical. The only folks that could respond will be those that have not lost internet and power. Not to thump you my friend but just pointing it out. Phoenix is fine therefore because I have responded :salute

What does any of that have to do with the question asked????? Seems you lack any local intel. Perhaps you might want to come out of the bunker long enough to talk to a next door neighbors, just in case the world hasn't ended.

Central Florida has been experiencing power outages in declining cycles. The first one happened at 10:24AM local time and lasted 4 minutes. 2nd event transpired 25 minutes later and lasted 3 minutes. We are currently in a rapid loss and recovery situation.
Local tv news has speculated that The House of the Mouse might be testing something experimental in their R and D proving ground code named Tomorrowland. Aerial footage has shown the Orca whales at Sea World have been Riverdancing to the tune of Thriller.
These could be misinformation.

Not a bad idea, I read this reports all over the news last week about tsunami and large EQ being overdue 72 years in Pacific NW;

Breaking news....
The Girl Scouts of America have came forward and claimed responsibility of the power outages gripping Central Florida. They built a secret undergrouns factory for baking those cookies. They spliced into the power grid to use the Heavy Industrial X-9000 Keebler Baking Furnace. All nuclear, coal, solar, wind, and tidal generators were hacked into and delivered the 1.21 gigawatts of power each tenth of a second it needed to run.
No flux capacitors were harmed in the making of those cookies.
We now return you to your regulat scheduled programming.

Keep your youtube links. I know about fluoride. I worked at a uranium refinement facility. At very low percentages it is extremely beneficial for our teeth, which in turn is beneficial for our health. Like anything, too much of it can cause problems.

Zoney...of course, though when it comes back on they can report it. Also, it is very rare that entire cities go down such as the famed NYC outage in the 1970s. That being said, having large outages in parts of cities, or rolling outages are more common and will make local news though typically note national.
Glad to hear Phoenix is up.

ghi what that message means is that if your kids eats all of it then get medical attention. the reason for them saying more than used to brushing is because due to weight, age, health, there's no specific amount that you can apply to everybody and say above that you die.
I like toothpaste, I like the taste of it and sometimes I'll eat a bit, been doing it since I was a kid. never have I had to go to an ER.

I used to work in a bleach factory for my summer job when I was 19. I knew that according to the law, they had to show me the MSDS if I asked for it. So I asked for it. Took a week but they produced it, they acted like it was the first time anyone actually asked.
Anyways, this isn't what they showed me, but its informative: http://www.msdsonline.com/blog/compliance-education/2014/02/12/bleach-sodium-hypochlorite-safety-tips-bleach-safety-instruction
Not that they put bleach in drinking water, different chlorine compound.
Title: Re: Power and Internet outages nationwide...SITREP please
Post by: DaveBB on July 21, 2015, 05:13:30 AM
Bleach is sodium hypochlorite. Just for economic purposes, water and wastewater companies normally use gaseous chlorine (Cl2). Once the chlorine is in the water (regardless of whether is it NaOCl or Cl2), it reacts with organic compounds to form chloramines. Chloramines also disinfect the water and are more stable than molecular chlorine.
So what are the major health problems people are seeing from fluoride and chlorine in our drinking water? I think it's a case of getting afraid of nothing. My teeth are healthier than ever. I haven't contracted cholera or typhoid fever. Water seems fine to me. If your health is poor, find out the real cause and stop blaming the water. Hundreds of millions of other people are drinking it and are fine.
