It’s a building, all of the subway lines, and these are counted as but ONE customer; it’s NOT a “person”!

Fox reporting persons trapped in elevators and passengers trapped in subway cars. 45,000 customers affected (a customer may be a business, hotel or office building). Fire Dept. says fire is in a below crown transformer beneath a city street.

Fox has cancelled Saturday night programming (Watter’s world, Judge Jeanine) for news coverage. They are running on generators so maybe limiting broardcasting to news.

Yes, I heard. And these fires are TERRIBLE for the very reasons you stated.

You still have one building on a generator? Oh gee.

Hot, steamy night in NYC. Solar panels don't generate at night, wind may be calm, but the libs can't have natural gas (the most effiecent fossil fuel) power the big cities in the east.

Here in New Mexico the radical libs that took power in January have decreed that all power will be generated by "renewables" in twenty years even as the state gains #3 status as a major oil/gas producer in the US. They are busy enacting rules/regulations etc. to drive the industry out of the state though is provides over 1/3 of all state income. They're all insane!

.005 % OF 8.5 no power, it’s a CATASTROPHE.

West 42nd St. to West 71st St, Fifth Avenue to the river. Basically all of Midtown West.

On the 42nd anniversary of the Great Blackout of 1977. To the day.

1977 there were 50 million people blacked out.

This is somewhere under 50,000.

Has FR Search had an outage too?

You knew this had already been posted.

A “customer” can be a single billing meter that can have 2 to 20 plus submeters sending pulses to it.

Electric utilities count customers by BILLING meters, that’s how their customer information systems are set up.

A single home can be one customer. A 10 MW skyscraper can be one customer.

We found a pottery shard on the location outside of Farmington. Stop the presses. Get an archeologist. As an aside, I lived briefly in Hobbs back around 1985. I remember that the biggest kicks that the “hands” got was riding around in the back of a pickup on the oil field roads and shooting jack rabbits by the thousands. I only did it once.

For real??? Uh yes, for real...

60,000+ CUSTOMERS ( apartments, etc...not a person count) stuck in dark elevators, subways, etc. is something no one would want to be stuck in. They seem to be handling it well, but authorities are saying it will be seveal hours before fixed.

Both are bad situations.

DeBlasio was quoted as saying it was caused by a manhole cover, I am not making that up.
