Cheryl,

I watched a movie on cable last nite The Trigger Effect. This was about what may happen if the power grid goes down. Was pretty scary, and made me think of all the repercussions if this happens due to Y2k.

Examples from movie:

no radio stations working
telephones down
unable to get called-in prescriptions, no records available (in computer)
cash only transactions, no ATM or credit card
looting from desperate people
burglaries (burglary alarms not working)
major run on grocery stores, gun shops
major traffic problems
complete mayhem

This movie was really scary and it wasn't even anything to do with Y2K!
