I so want to go natural gas fuel cell right now. lol

Anyway, at least the Internet is quite spiffy at the moment. Hopefully folks won't get on for another hour or so. lol

I used to live in a town that had to be doing power outs on purpose. Like clockwork, power out around early August. Once or twice for over a week....And I'll never forget the one on my 14th birthday, power-out entire day, cold and rainy. Yes it was glorious. XD

Glad you had a fast one instead of a long one...though any is bad...Yeah. xD

Sorry about your 14th Birthday Moko. As for this current blackout, no bad weather anywhere; might have been a blown transformer, but it wasn't particular hot outside so shouldn't have been an over-usage issue that could have caused a transformer blowout. Oh well.

Houston, TX had very spotty power when I lived there. Surprisingly, I can only remember two power outages in my little 4,000-population town the whole time I've lived here. One was due to a hurricane, and another probably a transformer.
