Matthew 24:10,11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
A new report from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission shows that as little as nine terrorists could take out the United States’ electrical grid for as much as 18 months.
The report says that on a hot summer day, a coordinated attack on just nine of the nation’s 55,000 electric-transmission substations would cripple the system to the point it would cause a nationwide blackout.
“This would be an event of unprecedented proportions,” Ross Baldick, professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas told the Wall Street Journal.
The article in the WSJ comes a day after a report from a New Jersey utility oversight committee showed a serious lack of security at key electrical substations. The report also cited the April 2013 attack on a Pacific Gas & Electric transmission station that knocked out 17 transformers with shots from sniper rifles.
The memo from the FERC says the California attack shows “it does not require sophistication to do significant damage to the U.S. grid.”
I’m so glad we’ve bought several orders of food from Jim Baker….thank you Lord we are ready
I declare God’s protection over these electrical substations. It is written ” what is hidden shall be made known”. May God expose those who are of a mind to disrupt these systems; and may the people who received the revelation act accordingly.
Oh wow, I wish they hadn’t told the terrorists about that! Actually, it doesn’t scare me, I’ve been without gas, electric, and water, all at the same time. You would be amazed what versatility a person can discover in a pinch! I even kept my house clean with the rugs vacuumed and the toilets flushed with rain water I collected from the roof!
