Power Outage in USA on Monday, 01 October, 2012 at 04:29 (04:29 AM) UTC.

Description
Power has been restored to about 17,000 Xcel Energy customers who were affected Sunday evening by an outage in the Greeley area. Xcel Energy spokeswoman Michelle Aguayo said at least 16,900 customers in Greeley, Garden City, Evans, LaSalle and surrounding areas were affected. She said the outage originated at a Greeley substation at 6:18 p.m. The outage lasted a little more than two hours. As of Sunday night, Aguayo said crews were still trying to determine the cause of the outage, but it did not appear to be weather-related. Xcel Energy’s outage hotline was inundated with calls. Aguayo said the company encourages customers to call and leave messages. Paul Sadd, a mechanic at North Colorado Medical Center, said the hospital was running on emergency power during the outage. He said several people were stuck in elevators, but workers were able to get them out safely. Aguayo said Xcel works closely with large customers like hospitals and law enforcement agencies to ensure that they have back-up power resources.

I guess they are calling this an LDE ??? Still no end ??

I can't tell where it's coming from, Halpha is not cooperating, but 1538 is non-stop on EVE.

Sorry guys, had stuff going on.

So lesson learned, none of us know it all

Also, case in point that a C class filament eruption can rival any X flare we've seen so far this maximum.

So now, can we be nice to each other on the playground ??? We all stand a chance to learn something

Good morning

Loving this thread. Just want to say thanks and ask a wee question.
