time to buy

agreed!

Why?
Does one nationwide blackout warrant purchasing, properly installing and obtaining the necessary licence to operate a generator?

[megadoc1]

just to be clear you must go into TTEC to make the claim,its not automatic! YOU must do it within three months ....that not bad at all

Guys in case of chaos, and anarchy.
1-Raid a Supermarket. You need as much supplies as you can get.
2-Raid a Police Station. You need guns and ammo to defend yourself and family.
3- Acquire a Gas truck, full of gas. Gas will become scarce and you will need as much of it as you can.
You must hide the truck somehow after you get it.

Retire to a very remote village and always keep on the lookout.


just a heads up.

Failures yes. It reminds me of the time a couple years ago when manning sent home people because a storm was approaching. Total chaos cus like the policemen thought manning was speaking to them as well. We cant depend on ttps during national emergencies

Actually hoss, I was quite pleased to meet police twice last night patrolling my street, slowing down and taking a look with flashlights etc. Plus a Padna said he met a roadblock in arima about 2pm.

The last roadblock i encountered was last night at about 845.

About 2am, i went sangre chiquito and left about 330am and didnt encounter any police. Maybe it was coincidental i didn't meet any. *shrugs *

The process of bring back the transmission and distribution netsworks of both the NGC and T&TEC to optimum operating standards in some case could take a few days.
Power consumption elevation which may take place at peak hours in the nite could sometimes require some load shedding if peak generating capability is not yet possible.
It is at times like these that homes with compromised wiring and power drops may be at risk for ignition at weak points.
In my case I have noticed fluctuations in voltage since power came up at just after 8.00am and this continued till about 12 noon.
It might be wise to carefully manage power usage for the next couple of days and check panels for any breakers which may feel unusually hot.
