Curfew seems excessive. We have had a number of 8-12 hour power outages around here and the local governments have never declared curfew. Parts of Ottawa were without power in the spring for 2 weeks after the derecho and there was no curfew.
- htag 4y agoI doubt curfew would have been called if this was a technical accident or natural disaster.
- mcphage 4y agoThere’s a difference between a weather event and a hostile attack.
- torben-friis 4y agoConsider that the curfew could be caused not by the outages, but by the fact that there could be further attacks, or the suspicion that whoever did this wanted the outage as a first step for a more extensive plan.
- bcrl 4y agoIt's far more likely to be vandalism, and that happens from time to time with infrastructure all over the place. Jumping to such an extreme overreaction does nothing other than make life miserable for everyone that's innocent. Deploy police to monitor infrastructure for sure, but locking down law abiding citizens seems like overkill.
- refulgentis 4y agoThis is in no way anywhere near normal, come on now.
- conorcleary 4y agoYeah; I'm pretty sure WW3 started in 2014.
- shagmin 4y agoNormally outages don't call for a curfew in the area, but in this case there was looting going on.
