I think the TDM would stand out in Australians' minds though perhaps not as much as the first nuclear strike on an Australian target. But one of the main reasons the TDM would stand out in the minds of Australians is because from that day onwards very little new electronic media content would come out of the US. It saddens me to say it but a huge amount of TV content in Australia, especially entertainment, and nearly all cinema comes from the US. Even if TV kept broadcasting in most parts of Australia after the lights went out over most of the US, Australians would mark the TDM as the day that the endless American TV re-runs started.

I like referring to the initial Continental US strikes as the TDM... it just sounds like something the media would call such an attack. Heck, in my Year of the Zombie campaign we used the term the 'Indepednece Day Massacare' to describe the intial terrorist attacks that released the reanimate virus in the USA...
I have a feeling that even after the TDM there would still be power and TV reporting going on in those areas of the country not blacked out... And we all know how the Media acts when it comes to trying to get ratings. remember the first ten minutes of 'Dawn of the Dead' when the news producers where bitching about taking down the locations of aide stations because they didn't have the updated locations, and the person explained that they where showing those locations that had already been overrun, and that if they kept showing them as they where it would cause people to walk right into chaos. heck, if anyone wants i can post the out takes of some of the media reports that i had wrote for the players to read to get an idea of the news reports that had went out before the networks went silent. http://cdn.ezprezzo.com/crazypics/drunk_animals10.jpg
