Power outages sweeping across Central Texas And it's not even a hot day in Texas. Temp is 70 degrees so this is very, very unusual. Safe to go outside I wonder? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25512421 It doesn't matter what the temperature is. There is an accumulation of dust on the high poles. When it's a dry season, usually the power company will hose down the poles to wash the build up off the poles...Evidently, this did not happen. The fog is moisture...We all know that water is a conductor of electricity...Right? So, build up of dust along with fog causes arcing...there is your fire. using your logic this would happen every time it rains.i have lineman friends also,they are only going to repeat what they are told. It isn't my logic! I am repeating what I was told by a professional. I posted earlier that I would make a call and I did. That's the best I can do. It makes sense, doesn't it? I'm just a freaking girl, what the hell do I know? I do know after looking at that sun video that something is way wrong...I've been watching solar activity for a few years and have never seen THAT before. But a CME would not just affect Texas. That much is a fact. Also, I've been hearing loud booms in Ohio. I do think something is going on...something leading up to something, lol, but I don't know what... As far as the poles, I think it's unusual, but my friends husband said it's a matter of no rain and the power company not hosing down the poles during an excessively dry season. I'm going to take his word for that. oh, and BRIEF how bout a beer to go along with that sammich??? :-0 Thank you honey, grab two and share my sammich with me I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder.

Power outages sweeping across Central Texas Hmm....sink holes every where...now power lines catching fire all over... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28701154 add to this last night I was visiting a friend who has large windows with no curtains watching TV facing her double windows and this out of the blue slow moving descending sphere with a band of lights growling like a bear not helicopter or silent came at an angle and looked like it landed behind the buildings the next block over like where this assisted living is in a small town with NO airport. It stopped its sound about the time it "landed" and no explosion was heard.We ran to the window to look seeing it was not a plane or helicopter to see better but it went down behind the buildings on the next block.There's a couple over there are expecting a UFO to rapture them or ick up expected by or before 12-21. They've been having meetings on it.My friend decided it was definitely some "spaceship" but it looks like my friends got a defective relief system as it sure was on same extremely slow descent after popping up out of nowhere. We were debating taking the elevator down and walking over through the alley but decided it was too cold. We talked over 30 minutes on how freaky close this fly/land was and then of a sudden here it comes on a back track going back up at some 30 degree or so angle but this time totally dead silent so no helicopter which this is a SMALL town here down town area.Then it passes our windows and zoom it pops way up and totally vanishes right in front of us.This is Montana and I looked it up and it appears this same type of sphere not saucer thing has been being seen around here.It has a band of blue lights around its center like cop lights coloring flashing like that. My friend's apartment is on the second floor and faces the bank and it went down like where the assisted living home former old hospital parking lot is by the alley down from the bank.It sounded terrible coming in like growling. We wondered if it was going to crash but it just stopped. No explosion or anything or loud sound. We watched in case any off worlders came on our street we were going to go out to say welcome did they need help or something.As their space ship needed a tune up or something. My friend wanted to bring them a beer to welcome them and have it as a back up if things got strange for herself. then on leaving but not people got picked up in any tracker and it was a sphere and blipped out after getting to height it wanted which was not very high nor far away either. And no we had not been drinking. We had watched the old Home Alone and Polar Express on Disney. |

Power outages sweeping across Central Texas I just thought I would post here because I experienced a phenomenon similar to this affecting the Pacific Northwest. Power went out all over Oregon and Washington - I saw a transformer blow, or what I believe to be. Followed by darkness. On my phone I looked up pge's website only to notice the power was out in over 20 places at once. I called the company to confirm this and they did. Stating that the outages were caused by rain! It rains ALL the time here and never have so many gone up like that at once! The weather was calm, just your average rain. There was a news clip which I hope I can find because at that time it felt very significant and was a very eerie experiences. Just looking... |

Power outages sweeping across Central Texas People also have been hearing booms...I've heard them in Ohio, the other people are in Texas, I believe... Quoting: StormeyGoddess My best friend's husband is a journey lineman...texting him right now! Booms and shaking were reported over large area's of Texas last night. USGS did not record the event. Several counties were involved. Ther is a great write up and story about all this at THE EXTINCTON PROTOCOL RIGHT NOW. Lead Story. People tell us, they felt shaking and heard a loud boom just after eight this morning, and then again a little after two this afternoon. [link to www.kten.com] this is real doom Interesting that article says they found the culprit, and that it is "sonic booms" from Lockheed Martin, which "said they were flying the jets over Southern Oklahoma Wednesday" but read the comments, they sound out of GLP, lol example comments: - was outside in Overbrook. I have heard many sonic booms before. This was easily 10x louder and more powerful than ANY I have ever heard in the past. Was with several others who are ex-military who said no way it was runofthemill SBs. Shook the ground here something fierce. Also 10plus counties now reporting hearing these things all at the same time. Crazy - It has been a while since I heard a sonic boom but never anything like that! I thought that would be reported as a record earthquake for Southern Oklahoma. Hope those aren't going to be a regular. Kinda scary?! - My husband heard it in Dickson and said it was POWERFUL. The ground shook with such force they thaought it was an earthquake. Hard to think it was really a sonic boom. Maybe those planes had one of those magnetic pulse gun on it. It work good in the in Nevada testing ground, knocked out the electricity. They said it could be dangerous in the wrong hands! |
