Will The Electric Grid Collapse?
A devastating winter storm scheduled to hit the American South, Prairie Heartland and Midwest this weekend could lead to a collapse of the national electric grid, a catastrophe much worse than the July rainstorm that produced catastrophic floods across Texas last summer.
Here, Clayton and Natalie Morris — the co-hosts of Redacted News — issue a high warning about the sprawling storm front. It’s expected to sweep across the nation Saturday and Sunday, fueled by moisture from the Pacific. As that torrent of moisture meets with a cold front descending from Canada, it could wreak havoc across 35 states.
The storm front is expected to arise around Texas and Oklahoma, before dropping snow, ice and sleet over the Prairies and Midwest, as well as such southern states as Tennessee and even northern Mississippi and Alabama. The storm will eventually slam the Atlantic Coast, before heading out to the ocean.
