Here is an interesting thread from the electricity forum on Y2K:

I am glad to see the National Guard and Red Cross taking steps (if this report is accurate.) It is good to see that they don't think that buying a generator is a form of panic.

Take a spin on the government websites, it can be an investigative reporter type person's Y2K awareness wake up call.

Just check out some of the links off of these forum thread link lists:
