Paralyzing Blackouts Can
Last Weeks...
Even MONTHS
After a Catastrophic Event!
And while there are ways to ensure your family won't
sit in the dark like the rest of your neighborhood (I'm going to show
you my
personal favorite method for this in a moment)...
... there's very little you can do to
actually prevent these nasty power failures.
Because when a hurricane or a massive
earthquake shatters
power plants and collapses miles of power lines...
all you can do is sit and watch.
If you’re lucky, the power gets restored
in a few hours. But the more serious the disaster... the more likely it
is you’ll be in the dark for weeks... even months.
It’s happened before – with hurricane
Katrina, or with the recent earthquakes in Japan. With many of the
Japanese power plants in rubble, people were told they’ll be
experiencing "controlled blackouts" for up to 3 months in a row!
This is serious stuff. A lot more
serious that not having TV or your XBOX console for a few months.
Because when the lights go out... things get VERY serious, very fast:
- You can’t cook, boil water or store food in a freezer... so it’s beans, rice and canned beef for a month (or government “instant meals” if you’re lucky!)
- You can’t use any power tools to rebuild your home faster... and if the damage is extensive, you’ll need to consider your alternatives (like... living in tents, or in “emergency homes”... while your home is unprotected from thieves and looters!)
- You
can’t keep a light on, can’t listen to emergency news broadcasts, can’t
charge batteries, and plenty more! (Luckily, there’s a
quick, easy and
inexpensive way to power up all your essential devices seconds after
disaster... and I'm going to give you all the juicy details here)
Fact is, electricity is so important to
having a normal life... you don’t really understand how much you need
it until you lose it!
