The headline comes from a quote by Cloudfare CEO Matthew Prince on Twitter, in regards to a cyber attack that occurred on February 11 to which he called "a big, new cannon and the attack is the start of ugly things to come."
That attack followed two power grid attacks, both happened in 2013, one in March at TVA Watts Bar Nuclear Plant in Tennessee and the other a month later at the Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) Metcalf substation in South San Jose, California.
In March 2013 in Tennessee, a TVA Watts Bar Nuclear Plant security guard was involved in a 2 a.m. shootout with an armed suspect. The guard was unable to catch the gunman who had somehow gotten inside the nuclear plant.

The next month, an attack on a California electric substation also took place. As Off The Grid News reported last year, someone entered the Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) Metcalf substation in South San Jose, California, around 1 a.m. through manholes. The unidentified intruder or intruders cut a number of fiber optic cables, which knocked out landline service, some local 911 local service and cell phone service in the area. The saboteurs or saboteur then used a high-powered rifle or rifles to fire 100 rounds into the transformers in the facility. This caused cooling oil to leak out of the transformers, which made the devices overheat.
Off The Grid News asks in their February 22, 2014 headline: "Twin Attacks On Power Grid: Practice For Something Bigger?"
What would happen if US power grids were successfully attacked and taken out, leaving America's populace in the dark for any length of time?
In the videos below, Judge Jeanine Pirro discusses just that in an investigative report into what it would take to bring the power grid down and if the system did break down, how would we survive?

Julie is one of the most visible faces of female masking, a specific subset of cross-dressing men who wear masks, and occasionally skin-tone bodysuits, to make them look more like biological women. The videos that she uploads to YouTube have received hundreds of thousands of views, attracting both fans and detractors
This doesn’t surprise Kerry. At 52, he has been masking for 37 years and is considered by many to be the unofficial matriarch of the scene. He says that while there are magazines featuring maskers that date as far back as the 1930s, the practice has existed largely on the fringe of society.
“I just checked with Dr. Kaplan and neither one of us have heard this term before,” said Dr. Richard Krueger, who, with Dr. Meg Kaplan, heads up the Sexual Behavior Clinic at the New York State Psychiatric Institute.
“I've got a fetish book from the 1940s and '50s of people doing female masking back then, so by no means did we invent anything,” he said. “Our grandparents were doing this.”
