Who turned out the lights?

[Noel]

How many members got hit with the big black out?What a drag got a day off work and was forced to BBQ all the meat so it would'nt go bad and as you can never tell with beer I was forced to consume them as well.It's amazing how many people got to know their neibours.We had a great block blackout party.What did everyone affected by the blackout do when the lights went out.Mabey there will be a few junior forum members born in about 9 1/2 months. Hope there is enough power to run things in the shops on Monday.

Who turned out the lights?...First Energy from Cleveland is getting the blame at this time.

 

Sorry 'bout that US and Canada. Cleveland flipped off the switch. Oops!

 

Don't blame me, I just live here

 

Guess its 'Grid Mod Time'

My wife and I were sitting in TGIFriday's when the newscast came on the house TV. Watched NYC Mayor Bloomberg(?) and wondered why the other mayors didn't hold their own news conferences.

Found out later that WalMart wouldn't let the mayor of Cleveland go home early. Poor Jane. No respect. No respect, I tell ya.

It's that switch on the wall that never seemed to control anything. You know the one...every once in a while when you walked by it, you'd flip it on and off just for fun. This time you forgot and left it.

Now I'm hearing Cleveland's First Energy may not be at fault.

 

Conflicting reports keep coming out. In other words, at this present time they're clueless.

 

One "expert" I heard on the radio analyzed it this way "It would be comparable to one resident turning on a blowdryer and blacking out a whole city". Food for thought?
