Joe they aren't looking at cause per se but rather trying to figure out how to get things patched back together with some bubble gum, duct tape and whatever else they have.... Just restarting the power plants will take some time.
They at some point will begin the process of looking at which relays tripped, when, what sequence and then they will begin to pinpoint the orgin and why...
Lets hope they don't drag down the rest of the grid when they try to bring it back up.

They will bring it back in sections.... the only way you can do it..... Get the power plants ready to go online, get the transmission system functioning, then the distribution system...... It's a sequence they have in place and will be used, i'm sure.

Then there will be a time lag between getting started and hitting line. Coming on line will be a while for some customers.
