DNI Dan Coats said cyber warning lights are blinking red

2. I like to think an actual attack that materially

hurt people's wellbeing would backfire on Putin (but conservatives are so focused against us these days that maybe they'd just follow the Kremlin/Trump line and blame it on Democrats). Coats doesn't support that notion of deterrence, though, quite the contrary.

The biggest lack that bothers me is actually communications ability if grid affecting us went down, because our family, like most, is so spread out. Even assuming vehicles were running, it's likely authorities would close the roads. Walk 40 miles to the nearest relatives to make sure an adult's at home with the children? My husband and I bought an inexpensive broadband receiver on sale one year, mainly though because commercial stations would come under government control in emergency and historically have provided limited information. But currently no one has the ability to send, though one of our kids has a friend who's a ham, wherever he lives.
