Not much is known at the moment, except that it appears to be a national grid failure, street lights are out and the Tubes are shut down.
Sound familar to anyone??

Can't be a total national grid failure...

Ahhh...the tests are almost complete. First the heat ray tested over Paris and now our EMP projector in London. Once we test the rabid gerbil swarms our triumvirate of superweapons will be ready for deployment.
