Electricity out = social unrest

[ChunkyMonkey]

As long as water and food distribution network are up, people behave. Take out electricity completely out to the point where there is no way to pump fuel and so on, then you'll see the same looting and chaos as in Katrina. That one started to go bad lesser than a week.

Everyone behaves themselves for the most part until desperation sets in. Three days without electricity isn't enough. It has to be the right combination of factors for a long enough time.

I agree, it is extremely frustrating but people were out working to fix the infrastructure.

But I am also glad to see people held out longer...they act like 6 days is a really long time and in this heat it can certainly seem like it.
