I had no power Monday night/Tuesday morning, big storm rolled through Austin and basically tore up the tiny patch of the city that I live in, everything else was fine.....freaky.

This power thing in the NE is pretty crazy. It's shut a lot of my work down.....gotta love global networks.

I never heard any blame going around.....canada said lighting hit Niagra Falls power plant by me but there was no lightning, US says it was a surge so all of the switches tripped to save the equipment.

I was typing a response over on h-t... friggen computer made an UGLY noise and shut off.. came back on I shut it off... then everything went out for a second or two again...

then it all came back and stayed... watched it all on tv...

My wife's whole office was freaking out thinking it was terrorists and shiot...

I thought so for a second then I was like... oh yeah... our powergrid eats dirt and it probobly just pooped the bed.... just a semi-educated guess but apparently a correct one.

heh if you read the newspapers today they suspect either a powerplant in eastlake ohio (cleveland), or the GM Stamping plant in Parma OH (yeah still Cleveland) were responsible for the whole thing. so far we had power for the past 36 hours and no interuptions.
