The White House and State Department lost power Tuesday afternoon due to a major power outage across the nation’s capital and parts of Maryland. The power went out at the White House for nearly 10 seconds while the State Department conducted its press briefing in the dark. The Justice Department’s power also went down. The power outage stretched to the University of Maryland’s campus in College Park.

“Maybe nothing bad will get done while power is out. Maybe this should be a permanent thing.”
Exactly what I thought when I heard about it.
The Mullahs knew the power was out sometime ago.
You mean the one that was shut down in 2012, then demolished?

LOL!!! Too true!
I’ll bet O’Bastard had something to do with it.
...under pressure from the EPA, the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) is finally dealing with the six most toxic sites along the Anacostia, one of which is Pepco’s Benning Road power plant. On February 2, 2011, DDOE announced that it had reached a “consent decree” with Pepco that it believes will address the legacy of pollution at Benning Road...

Yep the Obama Admin at work.
Remember this story, when a few years down the road we are told this outage deleted a bunch of Barry’s files.
“And these idiots don’t even have back-up power systems in their own buildings?”
Power was only out for 10 seconds in the building. That’s about how long it takes the emergency generators to spool up. The diesel engines have to get to a certain rpm before the generator kicks in.
“White House, State Department Lose Power”
If only the headline stopped there.
mine was out 17 years.
“Homeland Security officials believe an explosion at a SMECO power facility in southern Maryland caused the outages. They say there is no indication of terrorism behind the outages.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest says Homeland Security has “indicated they don’t currently see a nexus to terrorism or anything like that” in the outages.”
Sure, okay. We get nothing but truth from the Obama government. Over 6 years of nothing but truth. LMAO
isn't that how it always is?
Danged old global warming, anyway.
We did not have power outage with WREC!!!
Killed my tv, Leni.
