Once again we see how important the police,firefighters,utility workers are when something goes wrong

True .. but thank goodness we have them

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.

Flip on NPR 89.9 for the top of the hour news and listen to hear how he reports it.

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!
