I too live in JAX and remember that afternoon and from what I recall there were no storms in town, and JEA even said it was due to Equipment failure.
It just seems strange to me that the news media down here is trying to parallel the 2 blackouts and say it was Lighting that caused both when the Blackout in JAX had nothing to do w/ Lighting.

This would have been a good night to look for Mars, which is nearing its closest approach to earth in thousands of years.

Bloomberg was quite direct - CANADA DID IT. Thats why all the spin is coming from them.

I got Blastered about a month ago, got a new HD and Windows XP, along with Norton, firewall etc. Sometimes I wonder if a genius at Microsoft is creating worms and thats how they get rich!
