A very good overview of 90 days without electricity.
Three Months Without Electricity: The Worst-Case Scenario
1. It only takes 72 hours to realize how utterly dependent on electricity we are. We know from other blackouts that deaths will be greater than average.
2. After 72 hours deaths begin to rise.
3. After 7 days we have widespread shortage of water. Thirst will become one cause of death, dysentery and Cholera will come back with a vengeance, and grocery stores are now out of food.
4. During weeks 2 and 3 millions of refugees flee cities. They will overwhelm rural areas. The first to die will be those who need medicine to live as the entire logistical framework breaks down. Estimates are that 10-30% of the population dies at this time (approximately 40-100 million people). They will die from thirst, starvation, disease, violence and lack of medicine.
5. After 1 month we are in danger of a massive radiological disaster from our nuclear power plants.
6. After 90 days the die off will have peaked. Estimates are that 90% of People in America will be dead.
