Haha. Wind blows a couple of transformers, and everybody has a fit. Because of the meaningless scrawlings of a dead civilization (if they were so bright ... why’d their apocalypse come so soon?)

People are so desperate to believe in something that they’ll believe in anything.

Since the Mayans were proximity in the Yucatan Peninsula, you would think time would be measured from there and not England. Since Illinois is in the same latitudes they should go first. Right?

Yeah, but, did they allow for Daylight Savings Time and Leap Years?

########

Caesar allowed for Leap Years and according to that we are really ahead of the Mayans and it’s now July something, 2038!

I’m 90 miles east of Annapolis. Told the family about Annapolis, and right then the lights flickered. Freaking out!

But everything still on.

Nothing about this on the DC 10pm news.

” ... the line slaps are meek little things compared to the transformers.”

You’re NOT getting it. It’s the large ARCS that result FROM the line slaps. The transformers are INHERENTLY limited as to how MUCH current flows through the secondary (WHERE do you think the fault MIGHT form if it INVOLVES the transformer?) AND the branch circuits to the transformers on the distribution spur circuits are FUSED!

But, there no hurricane going on. Just light rain and a little breezy.
