Rupp mentioned a power outage in Pittsburgh earlier and about 5 minutes later, mine went out and have next to no cell signal. I ran out and do have signal, so to catch up...
@CityTshwane@tshwane_mayor power is out for 2nd tome in 24 hours. Not load shedding. Cannot report it via sms as the response is that the problem was fixed. Please report the issue and avoid another outage? Previous refnr is 191 of 4/17/2024.
⚠️⚡️ POWER OUTAGE: A tree fell near Edgewood Ave & Church St, taking out power lines and causing approx. 3,000 customers to lose power. Concord Electric Systems crews are there working to restore power as quickly & safely as possible.

@OrthoBlaze The Troubles if we're lucky, Bosnia x Rwanda^2 if we're not.
Mitigation steps:
1) conduct an Area Study
2) create redundancies for periodic shortages and outages (water storage/purification, beans and rice, backup power, backup comms)
3) medical
4) security
