Not close enough to DC to be good news

[mnehring]

green and red light usually means transformers burning.

[SkyDancer]

From my perspective I think they have something to worry about.

Tonight’s hail and snow will turn into fire and brimstone tomorrow?

I don’t have to shovel?!!

[The Cajun]

Hope it was just the transformers at the substation that blew, they should have a stock of replacements available.
Sounds like there could have been more damage though.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Oh, nevermind! Just see my tag line.

Is the end of the world supposed to start on the East Coast at midnight or at the international dateline? This might be the warm up pitch.

Title of article reminds of a little diddy called, “Fire In The Sky” from the CD, “To Touch The Stars.”

Other songs on the CD can be heard here.

I’m also fond of the song, “Yuri Gagarin” by Zia.

If I’m going to go out in a blaze of glory blasting zombies away during the end of the world I might as well be listening to some great tuneage while I’m at it!

I’ll bet everyone is freaked out. With tomorrow’s date, I’d be a bit upset and I’ve been vocal on poo-pooing the whole thing.

[TomGuy]

It’s too early for any of this to be “Mayan connected”. They are so accurate that they predicted something 26,000 years in advance. I doubt they’d be off by a few hours.

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

[muawiyah]

Actually, I driven around a day or two later to see the transformers ~ the line slaps are meek little things compared to the transformers.

[ALASKA]

Apple is offering free iPads with free next day shipping, but what’s the point?

[Morris70]

Nothing special. Saw 40 minutes straight during Sandy. Had to been over a thousand of them reflecting off
clouds.

[mylife]

Wow!

[House Atreides]

Hope it was just the transformers at the substation that blew, they should have a stock of replacements available.
********************************************************************
If they haven’t shipped them all (or most of them) out to NJ & NY to help out with the Sandy recovery.

[Robert A Cook PE]

If that black hole hit Annapolis ... it missed DC.

D*mn.
