Sitting in the dark for the past two hours. The local arm of ConEdison says at least 15000 customers are out. Reports of a substation being down due to unknown causes. I opined that a friendly member of the peaceful religion of the order of beheaders blew a hole in the transformer...
There WAS a time when that would have been taken as a joke...
And posting from a smorfphome sucks..
Those transformers do make a wondrous bang when the oil is let out.
There was one developed a leek ,must be ten years ago now, about five maybe six miles from here.
It was halfpast five in the morning when it blew up. Duck and cover, man alive that was loud.
I'm sure it will be fixed by the time you read this, or the Agreco (Scotland's best export) will have been wired in.
Oh, whilst your here....could you give Darks a nudge to move this storm system away from our little island, pls? :)
Good morning, power-deprived gents. We have electricidad here.
I hate using my phone as a computer, and in fact I took most of the apps off except for what was absolutely needed. It lowered my bill by $30.
Is your power back on, yet?
