I remember being very angry when CA had the rolling black-outs a few years ago. People were complaining that they couldn't do various things. Kinda makes you wonder what those people would do if an earthquake struck! PG&E gave them warnings days in advance that their power would be out for an hour, and that was too much for them to handle.

I don't hold any big hopes for people being prepared. Maybe we can do another Y2K?
