FirstEnergy! My previous employer. I'd laugh but I've got too many friends sitting in the dark up there right now. Like most utilities today, they are on the edge, taking chances to make a buck. Its a world where markets are more important than reliability. I think that when we dig through this, this will have started out in one area and spread around the interconnection quickly due to large frequency excursions. The grid is loaded to its limits these days.

Thanks for the explanation! My brother-in-law used to work for CommEd here for nearly 20 years in the Chicago area until they decimated his dept. (research chemistry).
