All those "welfare" tenants using maximum air-conditioning (with Taxpayer funding) just dragged down the power system.

The only Section 8 client I know has to pay her own utilities. So the A/C and often heating is usually left off or only used minimally.

Simple solutions:

All the welfare laureates should go out and blow at the windmills. No spitting, this is clean renewable electricity.

Enviromentablists use the solar panels, bring the flash lights and shine them on the solar panels.

One happy commieunity!

I can hear thunder north of us (Washtenaw County). Wind is picking up and it is really dark.

Stay safe, CC.

Since all electrical bills are paid for by the city tax payers in the ghettos and public housing, it truly is public lighting!

It wasn’t too bad. Lots of thunder and wind.

Sounds like another round on the way.

Awfully close to frost temps.

Like they say: if you don’t like the weather in Michigan wait 10 minutes and it will change.
