BeerMarket Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 just before these reports of power outages came out here in central NJ we had a good 20-30 second brownout, but now have power. Important to use protection when dealing with the grid around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Is this the 10-sigma event that we were waiting for and no one was talking about it now, and then it emerges out of nowhere? Wow, who's short? :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerMarket Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I'm watching the feed from channel-4 in NY. Total bedlam. tanks, better than CNN (no feed but some info). They just yanked that Jane woman off the air, she was losing it. Subways stopped, lots of unhappy commuters. Everyone being careful to say there's no evidence these outages are linked, but how can they not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkst27 Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Not sure how these events could be related without there being "intent". Don't know enough about how power is distributed. You guys in front of TV's keep typing! There's nothing on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
