This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Worth reading the whole article, as these events will become more and more frequent.

More than 100,000 customers in the southern U.S. are still without power following damaging storms that have left residents searching for relief in sweltering temperatures. Dangerous triple-digit temperatures were again in the forecast Monday in Texas, where electricity providers warned that outages for some customers may stretch late into the week. In some parts of Louisiana and Mississippi, the heat wave has been accompanied by heavy rain, punishing winds, thunderstorms and hail. In Louisiana, officials closed nearly two dozen state offices Monday because of the risks of severe weather.
