According to WWJ - Ann Arbor is down. Oakland and Macomb(Detroit Northern Suburbs) is down. Downriver is down. I THINK Monroe is down too.

"Mike Bloomberg, Electrical Engineer and psychic."
This would be an appropriate day for him to announce that he is re-joining the Demoratic Party.

Sorry, I figured the the urgency of the moment it could have slipped your mind.
Good thing there is a escape hatch in the roof of every elevator car. Never had to use one, don't ever want to either!

Had a nasty power surge here in New Jersey about an hour ago. Cable was out also so just got back online.

Northcom reporting looking at options of military support and national guard possibly.
To: GRRRRR
I guess we should take the liberal/left wing/DimbulboRat's definition of "success" and have the ENTIRE Federal Government pull out of New York, Detroit, etc. since 35 million people without power is worse than in Baghdad!!!

That's a little too simple, a fire in Manhattan. I think it is Canada. The Mediots are afraid of offending the liberals.

CNN saying that Homeland Security IS looking into the outages, including whether it might have something to do with msblast.exe virus.

Well, we're still at an elevated risk. The bus stoppage was probably just a precaution in that regard.

I just shorted Footlocker stock. You know all the Air Jordans will be looted by tomorrow morning. Their bottom line will suck next quarter.

They don't want to panic the people.
To: ravingnutter
Yikes...they just said they have been ordered to increase the security at the local power plants here in San Antonio, hopefully just a precaution.I called LCRA and no one at HQ knew anything about it but they checked with the outer stations and the guy got back on the phone all flustered and stumbled around about they're "on it". Whatever that means. Of course these are the same cubical morons who informed me there was no flood when I called to complain about the rising 15 feet of water in my yard.
To: Petronski
Omaha, NE up and running---I feel for those in NY...hope these rolling blackouts stop
