Imagine a blackout that lasts not days, but weeks or months. Veteran investigative reporter Ted Koppel discusses the life-threatening possibility of an attack on our power grid and how unprepared our government is for such a disaster.

Ted Koppel will be in Kansas City to discuss his new book, 'Lights Out: A Cyberattack, a Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath' at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 11 at Unity Temple on the Plaza. For admission information, visit www.rainydaybooks.com.
