Will there be a series of blackouts in some of the same regions over the coming year, perhaps increasing in the intensity as we get closer to the Disclosure event?

This indeed will happen, and is illustrated by what you know already, that there will be an event in the US early in November, as well as early in the third quarter of next year. The latter you can pin down more precisely and look as well at dates before and after to make a more thorough probing and shore up the overall accuracy and value in gaining an understanding of this dark calendar of events.
