I'm trying to formulate a plan to get in contact with my wife when cell phones/text messaging/facebook doesn't work. I'm thinking that they'll take down the electrical grid as well. What's your way of surviving the upcoming cyber attack and communicating with your loved ones?

Not a far cry at all. Heck our new CIA Director is saying that such an attack is coming:
“The next Pearl Harbor we confront could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our power systems, our grid, our security systems, our financial systems, our governmental systems,”-Leon Panetta

The Obama administration recently unveiled its proposal for global cybersecurity.1 Statements from the Pentagon have also indicated that the government will consider cyberattacks originating from foreign countries to be equivalent to acts of war meriting military response.

That is silly,,, they have defaced a few unprotected websites.. People need to learn more about computers and stop freaking out.
..and once again the hackers aren't claiming to be anyone, so it can't be a false flag even.
This is at least the the third post with this exact subject matter in as many days.
Lulzsec is on a roll. Earlier this month the team broke into the Sony Pictures website and took the personal details of 1 million customers (although Sony later claimed it was closer to 40,000).
Citigroup announced yesterday that information from more than 360,000 of its U.S. credit card accounts was stolen in a cyber attack last month, rather than the 200,000 that were initially disclosed to the public last week.
