Whoa. That’s cold. Just had our 3rd rolling blackout here in Houston in a matter of 3 hours.
Yup, that was a cold snap we had back then. Actually, it was not in 85, but rather a few years later. 85 was when we got snowed in during a visit to Corpus Christi.
I talked to the wife at home about 30 minutes ago. She said our power flickers off for a few seconds and comes back on again. We are on a dual feed line, so when one part switches off, the automatic switch senses the outage and turns on the other line.
Power at most of our work is off, but we still have power at our building. We are on another feed than most of our campus.
We’ve only had one 30-minute outage here Northeast of Fort Worth.
