4. There were two other blackouts last summer and fall. One each.

One was in August, the other, IIRC, in September.

Not reported *that* widely in the last week--and barely reported at the time, if at all--because it's sort of embarrassing, . To the narrative that suddenly because of very recent events bad things are happening, and they couldn't have happened before.

There was no huge response to the two mid-2024 blackouts.

In one case some tech simply unplugged a data cable.
