"This Is Happening All Over The Country
And Americans Are Getting Scared"
"The power goes out and a clock starts. Not on the utility - on the food in the fridge, the phone battery, the kids, the shower you did not take. Gary, Indiana with 240,000 people in the dark and a week already gone. Day seven with a restore time that keeps moving. Water shut off overnight with no warning. Day ten, day twelve, and an estimate of three more weeks. A woman loading a gun because people are being robbed for generators. $900 of Costco groceries bought 48 hours before the outage. $360 of groceries and 24 hours with no power. A food voucher line on day seven. St. George, Utah going dark city-wide, treadmills stopping mid-run. Day four on the west side of San Antonio with 20,000 still out. And a man in Gary saying the quiet part out loud: this has been going on over a week, and it has not been on the news. Every clip is a real person, filmed on their own phone, in their own words. Nothing here is staged - these are households waiting, in the dark, for someone to come."
