This video shows most people think they’re prepared for a blackout, but a lot of common assumptions can actually be dangerous. It breaks down things like using candles, running generators in unsafe places, overestimating how long food will last, and the mindset of just waiting it out—all of which can lead to serious problems in the first 24–72 hours.
