And (especially you folks in the USA) don't forget a couple of
guns and a liberal amount of ammunition. ;-) Even during normal
blackouts there's usually riots complete with arson, pillage, rape
and murder, especially in poorer parts of big cities, and this time
blackouts will last longer and they'll be accompanied by all sorts
of other technical mishaps and no doubt some year 2000 hysteria.
LA, get ready for a rough time...
