Brief Reminder: Y2K onset/outcome scenarios

The X-Y axis is pretty straightforward:  we're vulnerable or not, and the event is big or broken up.  The onset scenarios are listed in the corners, using weather as an analogy:  discrete events but lotsa damage = hurricanes; discrete events and we're resilient = tornados (pockets of damage); big event and we're shut down = ice storm; and big event but only the vulnerable, low-lying areas are swamped = flood. The named outcome scenarios are fairly obvious.

We clearly landed on the upper half, arguably more on the left.
