That's why a scrappy coalition of ratepayer activists convened by #ClimateDisobedience, with #350NH and the #NoCoalNoGas and #FixTheGrid campaigns, are mobilizing to get word out and project our power onto the grid in a way that is both beneficial and prevents harm.

4 tornadoes confirmed as Michigan storms down trees and power lines; 5 people killed

Officials say at least four tornadoes touched down in Michigan as part of severe storms powered by strong winds that killed five people, while downing trees, tearing roofs off buildings and leaving hundreds of thousands of customers without power. The National Weather Service on Friday confirmed that EF-1 tornadoes touched down Thursday night in Livingston County after leaving adjacent Ingham County, Belleville in Wayne County and south of Newport in Monroe County. An EF-0 touched down in Canton Township in Wayne County. Police say an 84-year-old woman died Thursday night after a tree fell on a home in Ingham County's Lansing.

again, these are structures/customers without power, they count customers on this site, which means sometimes 1 is an apartment and sometimes 1 is an entire apartment complex.
So with al least 1.25million buildings w/o power, that could be millions of cold people right now, even tho we knew this was coming, we never hardened our grid
