Anonymous Coward User ID: 15676325 United States 12/21/2012 12:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't get it. I'm in the west suburbs and this is a pathetic storm. So what some wind there's not even ice or snow sticking to the pavement. Power dipped out for milliseconds at work probably grid switching. Quoting: krosty Right? It's not that bad, we have dealt with WAY worse than this many times. Why all the power outages. Someone is f'ing with us. Maybe TPTB want people to panic??? |

Nicolemare User ID: 25066813 United States 12/21/2012 05:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm in a western suburb of Chicago. There's a half inch of snow on the ground right now. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15916759 4:08 a.m. and it is CRAZY WINDY & SUPER LOUD from all this wind blowing about! I'm also here in the West Suburbs... We do Still have Power though! :) Thankfully! ~"For the total development of the human being, solitude as a means of cultivating sensitivity becomes a necessity. One has to know what it means to be alone, what it is to meditate, what it is to die; and the implications of solitude, of meditation, of death, can be known only by seeking them out. These implications cannot be taught, they must be learned." - Krishnamurti ~ |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1300831 United States 12/21/2012 05:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am in the quad cities area stranded right now. I live in a small town called Bishop Hill and I am stuck in Annawan at a gas station. Every route home is blocked either with a jack knifed truck, drifts in the middle of the road up to my waist, or littered with wrecked cars. At least I have an excuse to call off work on 12/21/12. I just hope I make it home before noon. The time now is 4:18am and I pulled in here at 10pm last night, after getting off work at 7pm on 12/20. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 16282477 Portugal 12/21/2012 05:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Power Outage in USA on Friday, 21 December, 2012 at 09:27 (09:27 AM) UTC. Description The lights went out in the Annapolis area Thursday night as BG&E lost two main feeder lines, according to a BG&E spokesperson. As a result, some 50,000 customers lost power at around 9 p.m. The areas affected were the city of Annapolis, Westgate and Cedar Park. BG&E has crews investigating the cause of the the incident but as of 10:45 p.m., had not determined what caused the problem. BG&E did not make an estimated time of restoration of power. The feeder lines that failed feed several substations in the Annapolis area, according to the BG&E spokesperson, who said that it is possible that when the power failed, the substations also went offline. Because some equipment in the substations makes what sounds like an explosion when the large fuses blow, residents may have heard the noise when fuses blew, which also causes light as well as noise, the spokesperson said.
