    Grid operators in control rooms are important. But in the US we have contend with tornado, hurricanes, forest fires, etc. When lines go down you have to have work crews of linemen to physically fix things. You also have to have transformers and many miles of cable and many poles. If a major hurricane were to hit the US now, it could take many months to get the power restored.

    Humans are indeed creative when reacting to a situation. Too bad we suck at anticipation and planning ahead.

    And I agree, the next hurricane is going to be hard to recover from. Communities may wind up abandoned due to lack of infrastructure.

    The hits will just keep on coming.

    Folks, we are “living the doom.”

    Hurricane season officially starts in June here in FL. Peak is September. We usually see them September/October. This part of the state is pretty good at handling things. Most people have generators.Homes are built to very strict codes as far as wind is concerned.
