    This blackout happened at the same time a hurricane was making it’s way into Louisiana leaving thousands with flooding waters, power losses, reptile dangers , and more. A blackout lasting for two hours hit NYC and you would think another 911 was happening. The people of NYC have a reason to be gun shy, but after the event celebrities like J-Lo made it all about her loss of a show(money), and restaurants losing money. Didn’t stop the criminals. It was like Christmas for them. I hope the victims of the hurricane pull through quickly.

    What happened to NY is going to happen more often in the bigger cities around this country, the old power grid is getting maxed out in a lot of places! My goal by the time I retire is to be living off the grid producing my own power with solar! Prices have come down a lot and if you build an energy efficient house on a property out in the country you can run off solar pretty easily now and it's only getting better as technology improves and prices come down!

    Got a link about the criminal activity? Another poster here said there was no unusual activity during the blackout.
