🕯 Leave The World Behind

Leave The World Behind 

⚠️ The Exalted Christ: The Honorable Elijah Muhammad warns One day very soon the electricity is going to go out in America. There will be no power. No internet. No social media. No cellphones. 

🕯Have you considered 2 way radios? 

Have you Considered Satellite Phones? 

Have you Considered portable ham radios? They reach a greater distance than regular 2 way radios

It may not even be a Natural Disaster that takes out the power in America.

We may not experience any storms or earthquake. 

We may not hear anything but the deafening silence of no electricity. 

It could be one of America's enemies (EMP) 

It could be The Wheel. 

During The Blackout of 1965 there were many "ufo" sightings BEFORE the lights went out.

It could come from storms from the sun. (#solarflare #cme)

If this happens in the summer, and we do not have any water stored…

Stock up on mylar blankets. If you put them over the windows they reflect the suns enerenergy and heat away from the home.

Part of a conversation I recently had about the East Coast Blackout in 2003. Some hard lessons learned:

If you must go to the store, Don't go to the stores alone. Go crewed up👊🏿👊🏿 

When the power first goes out, for some reason, everyone went to get ice.

I remember when the East Coast Black out hit. Power was out for 2 days in 8 states. 

Most grocery stores were just closed. But the ones that were open, only took cash. 

So all the people who "had money on debit/credit cards" ended up walking out of the store mad. 

But they didn't leave. 

They waited around in the parking lot in groups....this is Detroit keep in mind. 

When we got to the store, the parking lot was packed....but they didn't bother us.

Brother that was the first time I ever got caught without water. 

It was in the summer. 

It was HOT and HUMID. 

No electricity at all. Inside the house was like a sauna. The heat was unbearable. And no water at all in the house. 

We couldn't even get water from the faucet because the water treatment plants had no power. 

They said don't even TOUCH the water. 

They said don't flush the toilet.  

The only grocery store open had no water. 

That was the first thing to disappear. 

The soda isle was packed. And the crazy part, they had Gatorade.  

So you seen the commercials, the sports events, Gatorade is just as good as water right🙄 

After the first day it was hard to even swallow the Gatorade. 

It was like all those chemicals in it got caught right at the back of your throat. 

After a while people started heading down to the Detroit River to fill containers with water.

It was so hot, that had that power outage lasted another 2 days or more, many would have died.

At night most just stood outside. The entire family agreed to all stay at one house. Safety in numbers 

Monitoring the police radio they warned officers not to arrest anyone unless they absolutely had to. For violent crimes, murder, because the jails had no power.

Its going to be rough when the power goes out. We have been warned to store 3 Months of food, water, and supplies in our homes.

WHEN the power goes out in America, for whatever reason, it may take MONTHS to get it back on the next time.

They sell battery powered fans. Get as many as you can. And get as many batteries as you can for the fans. And thank Allah Later😅

New York City and much of the Northeast were paralyzed by a sudden blackout yesterday that stopped 50 million people in their tracks.

From New Jersey all the way to Toronto, trains stopped, computers crashed, planes were grounded, air conditioners cut off and thousands of homes and businesses were plunged into darkness by the largest power outage in the nation's history.

In the city, rush-hour subway riders were trapped in the tunnels and the streets were gripped by gridlock, forcing thousands to hoof it home through the sweltering evening heat over the crowded bridges.

In the blackout region, 21 power plants shut down, affecting Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Newark and Ottawa, Canada.

It was 4:11 p.m. when the lights went out in New York. Four hours later, the city's famed skyline formed an eerie silhouette against a moonlit summer night. Stars could be seen for the first time in recent memory.

By 11 p.m., lights flickered sporadically in some city neighborhoods, and Mayor Bloomberg said there should be power by this morning - but no subway service until later.

His advice for today? "Treat it like a snow day: Get up and listen to the radio," the mayor said.

Still, he added, "It wouldn't be the worst thing to take the day off."

Unlike the 1977 blackout, which was marked by riots and looting, the city was mostly calm. In the most serious incident, a police SWAT team besieged a bank in Harlem after an alarm went off, and some looting was reported in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.

"There is no evidence whatsoever of terrorism," he said. "With a lot of luck, later on this evening, we will look back on this and say, 'Where were you when the lights went out?' "

President Bush warned that it could take time before life in the region gets back to normal.

"Slowly, but surely, we're coping with this massive, national problem," he said.

The blackout triggered a set of NYPD security precautions that were put in place after the World Trade Center attack, and within minutes heavily armed teams of special counterterror officers were dispatched to city landmarks and other sensitive locations.

Fighter planes creased the sky as the military sent up an extra air patrol in the East as a precaution. Flights into area airports were diverted.

But there was remarkably little panic as New Yorkers dealt with the latest calamity to befall the city - and carried on.

Relaxing in park

"How often does New York City come to a standstill?" said Phil Gormley as he and two pals stretched out on a blanket in Bryant Park and sipped red wine.

Millions of workers were ordered to evacuate their buildings and forced to flee down flights of stairs because the elevators had stopped working - trapping many for hours.

For those in the subways, it was the start of a harrowing exodus through the steaming darkness of the train tunnels.

Maria Hiller of Madison, N.J., was on the uptown A when the train stopped, stranding her and hundreds of other riders between Canal and W. Fourth Sts. for an hour.

"We sat there for an hour, suffocating," she said. "People started getting out. I jumped off the train with everybody else. . . . It was terrifying."

Trains to Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey also came to a halt as the blackout plunged commuter terminals into darkness, forcing riders to find their way out by the glow of cigarette lighters.

Outside, Red Cross workers handed bottled water to the parched and treated dozens of people who were overcome by the stifling heat.

On the streets, chaos reigned after the lights stopped working, and traffic snarled into knots. As the din of honking cars rose, some drivers tried to helped overwhelmed police officers by directing traffic themselves - often adding to the confusion.

The bridges and tunnels were closed, and the sheer volume of so many cars trying to get out at once slowed the exodus to a crawl. Many bus riders were trapped when the Port Authority closed its terminal at Eighth Ave. and 42nd St.

"I got to get back to Jersey," said Abbas Muhammad, 45, an accountant from Teaneck. "I'll walk across the George Washington Bridge if I have to. I just can't stand out here in the heat all night."

Some bargains

Thousands of other commuters simply threw up their hands and headed for the nearest bar or restaurant, many of which reduced prices to clear their refrigerators of perishables.

Broadway canceled all shows - to the dismay of tourists - because theaters literally did not have the juice needed to raise the curtains.

In Times Square, no steam rose from the Cup of Noodles billboard and there were no news flashes on the Dow Jones news zipper. But it was business as usual for the postcard sellers, photo vendors and bejeweled men hawking incense to the trapped tourists.

The blackout also forced the evacuation of workers and players from Shea Stadium hours before the Mets were to take on the San Francisco Giants. The game was postponed.

Across the city, lines formed outside bodegas and grocery stores. Some grocers cut the prices on fruit, vegetables and meat for fear they might spoil. But a few tried to profit from adversity by jacking up the prices on bottled water, batteries and other necessities.

Powered by generators, city hospitals continued to provide services, but emergency rooms quickly filled up with people needing treatment for overheating. At Bellevue Hospital, doctors completed four operations that were under way when the power went out, with generators keeping the lights on. "We're confident we can weather this," spokesman James Saunders sa

Stepping outarchic

Most New Yorkers appeared to take the adversity in stride. Instead of sweltering in their apartments, many carried chairs outside and dined al fresco by candlelight.

"We've been through 9/11, we can get through a couple hours without light," said Roger Anderson, as he sipped a glass of wine on a stoop in the West Village.

In midtown, three lawyers sat serenely around the case of beer they had bought for $60 and watched the drama unfold.

Across the Hudson, New Jersey mobilized 700 National Guard troops and 300 extra state troopers. There were no reported injuries attributed to the blackout, but in Newark at least six people had to be rescued from stuck elevators.

At the height of the blackout, about 1 million PSE&G customers were without power, mostly in Essex, Bergen and Hudson counties, spokeswoman Leslie Cifelli said.

Gov. Pataki, who helicoptered to Albany from his Lake Champlain vacation home when he learned of the blackout, said the apparent breakdown in the power transmission system was troubling.

"It clearly shows the grid system didn't work the way it was supposed to," he told reporters at the state Emergency Command Center. "We had this Northeast outage back in the '60s. It wasn't supposed to happen again. It did happen again. We have to ask some tough questions as to why."

At 11:15 p.m., Pataki said, "We're still in a situation where probably two-thirds or 60% of New Yorkers don't have power."

In New York, Con Ed's Clendenin denied reports of a fire at the 14th St. power plant. He also said he could not predict when the electricity would be restored in the city - only that it would.

"We're asking New Yorkers to be patient," he said. "It's not just flipping a switch. It is something that has to be done carefully, it has to be done methodically."
