🌨️ Nationwide Winter Storm Alert: Prepare for Internet & Power Outages 🌨️
A massive winter storm is forecast to impact over 30 states, from the Southwest to the Mid-Atlantic, potentially affecting 175 million people. With heavy snow, ice, and Arctic temperatures, widespread internet and power outages are likely—even in areas with fiber or 5G.
Why Internet May Go Down:
Ice & snow can damage cables, knock down lines, or block satellite signals.
High winds may topple infrastructure or misalign equipment.
Power outages will disable modems, routers, and network hubs—even if your home has power.
How to Prepare:
Charge phones, hotspots, and power banks now.
Use a battery-powered NOAA radio for updates if the internet fails.
Check your provider’s outage map (Xfinity, Spectrum, AT&T, etc.).
Keep cables and connections
