Abstract
Transformers fail with lightning strikes. Land lines go down as wind-whipped trees hit utility installations. Then cell phones exhaust their battery life. Next, wireless networks show “no bars.” Workstations don´t boot up. Gas stations can´t refill. And there are no lights. In 90 seconds, nature´s forces can destroy our collective ability to be productive. In response to storm devastation, we signal a safety message.
