We'll see if it spreads in a coordinated fashion across the U.S.

I'm telling you, this thing stinks, man. Stinks. The government would never, not in a million years, admit that it was a terrorist attack if they could at all suppress that information (they couldn't suppress 9/11 - it was on live T.V.).

This is unprecedented - that tells me it's way more than an "overload". The whole eastern seaboard is out. Give me a break. New York and other areas have had far hotter weather than this.

Guy on Sean Hannity right now - caller says a small plane crashed into a power plant in New Jersey! Mother saw it go in!

Just heard it!

Nope, no terrorism! Nothing to see here! Move along!

[Fledermaus]

We still have plenty of power here in middle TENN.

And I'm cranking up the A/C big time!

Advice from the govt.

Stay calm, stay indoors, drink lots of water, avoid alcohol!

[OXENinFLA]

I heard that too.

I would think Hannity's call screener would have told him what the call was about, and he sounded confused.

IT doesn't stink at all. The grid is SUPPOSED to do this! On an overload, the grid is supposed to shut down..just like a circuit breaker in your house. They are safety mechanisms built in. The WHOLE eastern HALF of the United states is interconnected yet somewhat independent.

I'm getting out the foil,now!

Boston, Miami and Washington still have power so the whole eastern seaboard is not out.

Wrong - I'm in Myrtle Beach, SC and we have power so....I guess the whole eastern seaboard isn't out!!!!!
