Based on the events of Act I of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, which event is most likely to happen in the rest of the story?

In Act I, the power goes out and strange events make the neighbors suspicious of one another. Tommy’s story about aliens encourages them to look for someone to blame, and the residents begin accusing their neighbors instead of working together. This foreshadows the neighborhood becoming chaotic as people turn on each other, rather than uniting to defeat the aliens.
