Right so this has been bugging me since it happened. Three states, all going dark within about 90 seconds of each other, and the official line is just "grid failure" - which, fine, that happens. But the timing matched up almost perfectly with two separate military radar blackouts that were reported that same night, and nobody in the mainstream press connected those dots at all.
I've been looking into ley line convergence points in that region and there are some genuinely strange overlaps with where the outages were most severe. Could be nothing. Probably is nothing. But I've seen similar patterns before with the Yorkshire corridor outages back in 2019 and those never got a proper explanation either.
Anyone actually live in the affected areas? Would love to hear what it felt like on the ground, whether animals were acting weird beforehand, that sort of thing. The minutes before something like this are often where the real story is hiding.
