Wow. Hope people living there are doing OK. Note, I'm told this was an accident, and NOT the act of a terrorist. But... we'll find out about it all soon enough...

Glad it did not happen THIS past weekend I was there... it is said our GRID is vculnerable and outdated...

Jeez, I wonder what could cause an outage like that. I mean over alol that area. Oh well. At least it's not any bigger.

 

[Mystery Thing]

they're thinking an overload in the niagra mohawk grid did it. what caused that overload is up in the air tho. there's speculation it was maybe possibly perhaps msblast... imagine if it was. that sound you hear is the author's jail sentance going up a few thousand years, if they catch them.

The nuclear power plants we use now provide power to multi- state regions.

 

[Mystery Thing]

ok, so they've ruled out msblast. if this had to happen somehow or another, it would have been kind of funny to have that be the reason, i think. (im not saying its funny it happened, cause its not. so dont get me wrong here @_@)

They are worried about looters & ensuing chaos =/

It took my place 30 hours to have the power back. I was sweating for the whole day.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better now.

Sweating?

I live in UTAH and I am feeling the effects.

Last night at work we had a complete system failure. I found out that our headquarters, on the East Coast, had their system crash. The country was without Pizza Hut pizza for a good number of hours.
