Tornadoes and devastating thunderstorms have left nearly 300,000 residents across seven states without power as of Monday night.
Over the weekend, huge storms killed at least 23 people and left a path of destruction across the central US.
Forecasters said the greatest weather risk has shifted east, covering a broad sweep of the country from Alabama to New York.
More thunderstorms, damaging wind gusts, hail and flash flooding are expected.
and from over construction
our town has rolling blackouts constantly with an increase in the bill to match
US had energy problems before this current issue
That isn’t over construction, that’s under production of electricity. My city has a literal fuck ton of manufacturing all over and we have no rolling black outs and very little outages even with most of the lines above ground. We do get our power from a nuclear plant so that definitely helps.
A lot of these energy issues are hyper local. Texas for example is the worst in the country for maintenance, price, outages, etc and it’s not solely because of the weather.
