Thanks for the solid info. Would they attempt a startup using standby diesels, or wait for outside power?Offsite power is required for nukes. Plus, they need a path for the generation to flow. They'll need a couple of main transmission lines connected before they even think of starting a large generator.

It must be a Vast Left Wing Conspiracy. Turn off the power to the Northeast then cut the lines to News Corp?

I noticed the networks, except for ABC, stayed with their crap reruns and stuff. ABC had a Blooper rerun show scheduled but did a live story on the outage with Koppel.

Fox TV is down. The screen was black for several minutes. Now it's taped Fox Magazine. So who's running that -- local news?
Unbelievable.

He seemed very forced to say the word, "blackout". And he does visibly appear down.....
To: mlbford2
We were down again for about 3 hours or so here in central Jersey. Just got the cable up. I think the first surge threw the breakers for the central air, just got that back up too.
