copy / paste: The 275,000-barrel-per-day plant in Illinois lost power around 3:30 p.m. CT due to utility issues, triggering emergency flaring of crude and intermediates for safety. Power returned that evening, but the refinery stays offline as teams assess damage and probe the cause, with recovery possibly taking days to a week. This comes amid tight U.S. diesel prices over $6 a gallon and another nearby BP refinery down for maintenance, raising concerns for Midwest gasoline and diesel supplies that could lift pump prices.

This is r/PrepperIntel's Bimonthly Fear Index / poll. This will give us an idea of what the sub and it's visitors are currently concerned about into the next several weeks.

• Please upvote what concerns you the most.
• Please downvote if you strongly disagree. (keep in mind a few are short term and may change from time to time.)
• Leave unvoted if you're unsure, undecided, don't care, or are in the middle.
• You can change your votes anytime!
• This style of polling gives better intel of the numbers. And we're all for that around here.

Use the comment sort to sort by: best, top, controversial.

• "Top" is just upvotes minus downvotes.
• "Best" sorts based on what percentage of upvotes Reddit estimates the comment would receive if everyone votes on it. The more votes a comment gets the more confident Reddit can be about what that percentage will be.
• "Controversial": Comments have a high number of up and downvotes.

Past polls will be made readily available around the end of each month so we can look back to possibly identify patterns or how right / wrong we were.

Comments are locked to keep this streamlined, but you are free to post your concerns as long as they fall within the sub's posting guidelines. If it isn't worth a post, use the "everything else" weekly post.

We try to put the post in "contest mode" to make things a bit more honest and randomized for the first hours to day.

I have decided to dial it back from every thirty days to 60, I wish I could automate this poll, but due to how everything has to be done with comments I cannot easily do that to my current knowledge. So we're going try Early Jan, March, May, July, Sept, Nov.

Thank you all for participating! (No really, it's interesting data and its only you that makes it happen)
