Ostria1 (OP) User ID: 77721870 Greece 06/16/2019 10:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do the airports work under a blackout? I see some planes over Argentina and one going to land to Buenos Aires. (its not only one, but i follow one on flightradar) Quoting: Ostria1 I would imagine generators for landing plane's only. I guess so, aviation sites havent said anything yet Ostria |

I have never heard of an entire country the size of ARGENTINA without power, not too mention Uruguay as well! What is going on? It has to be a test for the real thing against a bigger country from someone (e.g., China, Russia, Iran, North Korea) because there is nothing to gain by doing it to these countries |

I had a power line arcing and burning up behind my house yesterday , something I've never seen happen before , now I'm reading about this (in Texas) Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77006209 Space weather says: Earth's magnetic field could become unsettled on June 18th and 19th when an incoming stream of solar wind reaches our planet.

KickinIt User ID: 74785546 United States 06/16/2019 11:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm in Mendoza and the power keeps coming on sporadically, then off again. Just went off again. Interesting considering the Drudge link to US hacking Russia's grid. Maybe they are testing many regions Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77734710 Thank you for reporting this, I have a friend there and was wondering. I also have a friend in Uruguay I'm waiting to hear back from. Had no idea this was going on until I saw this thread. Thanks, Ostria! |

Quoting: DPS7 Pray it will be fixed soon and not devolve into pillaging and looting for food and water. And here we go Uruguay’s water board warns that total power outage in Argentina and Uruguay is affecting running water installations. Recommends responsible water use [link to twitter.com (secure)] |

When it comes to the US it’s the complete destruction of her. See Babylon the Great in Revelation 17-18. The rapture coincides with the event! It’s the beginning of Day of the Lord! Amen! So, if they accept Jebus, power will be restored? Please don't breed. |
