Even our own planet can destroy our critical infrastructure to cause a black sky event.
Earthquakes:
Concurrently, in the US, some Earthquakes happen daily, and some of them do massive physical damage. Massive physical damage may disrupt some of our critical infrastructures, forming a prolonged power outage, which could lead to physical assaults, cyber-attacks, and much more.
To add on, natural disasters, like earthquakes, can easily destroy several dozens of electric substations, high voltage transformers and transmission lines, and generators. It is a fact that earthquakes are a lethal threat, and we must protect ourselves from them.
Geomagnetic Distrubance:
First, every five days, the sun ejects immense amounts of coronal mass, which has hit us a couple of times, each extremely devastating. If one of these coronal masses reaches Earth, it will disrupt the national power for days! This is something we have very little control over, and I’m scared of this.
In fact, in March of 1989, all of Quebec (a province of Canada, which makes up a fourth of Canada) lost power for over half a day without notice. This also disrupted New England and New York at a major scale, and across the US, there were over 200 power grid problems.
Satellites also were disrupted, and we were lucky none of them lost orbit too much. However, this disturbance mysteriously and luckily vanished for literally no reason. We may not be lucky next time, and if this disturbance continued to happen for days, there would surely be a collapse.

Hurricanes and Others
Severe weather patterns have lurked for decades. These patterns are getting more severe every year thanks to climate change, and we are vulnerable to this as well.
The department of energy remarked that the increase in temperatures and the decrease in water availability would cause more intense storms and negatively affect their energy transmission.
Storms are hazardous and could destroy entire states. Besides, they’re not going to get any better, so you should prepare for this too.
I have believed that what you described in your article will happen. I have always kept supplies ready, since I was very young.
Nice article!
Wow. Any other material I can read about this
