Ray Jones Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 they have anti power failure powers .. like backup systems .. for instance the hospitals .. the firm where i work once had trouble with a system at a hospital .. only once in a month .. we finally found out that they once in a month TEST the poweraggregates which just turn on if mainpowersupply fails ..

swphreak Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Does anyone know what caused it yet? (didn't pay attention to news that much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 No. Massachusetts is totally on it's own isolated grid, fortunately. There were a few towns out on the NY border (out past Springfield) that did go dark though. And they think it was a lightning strike on a transformer station on the US side of Niagra that started the overload cascade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philocleon Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I live in Massachusetts and my little town of Ludlow did just fine. Suprising that we did, seeing how we run on a small hydro dam, and we've suffered a few minor blackouts because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Rabbit Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I was unaffected way the hell out in Oregon. And even if our grid had gone down...my land yacht runs on solar. *(Gloats openly.)* It was not a lightning strike. There were no clouds, storms or reported strikes anywhere near that power plant. As of right now...they have absolutely no idea what caused the blackout. My money is on cyberterrorism. Really. Even if it were, would the US government admit it? Think about it.

Cmdr. Cracken Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Anyway, the promised rolling blackouts RG&E (our electric company) said they might do never happened. i've been turned on all day, so i'm happy...... *thinks* knowing this crowed, it'll be turned into something dirty. i give it 5 posts. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alia Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 I was in the Northeast and experienced no shortage of power, except when I felt slightly fatigued late yesterday afternoon. But I assure you, I took a short nap and was consequently refreshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 I didn't have power and I was pissed. I wanted to watch Wes Craven's New Nightmare and Jason Goes To Hell, but no. The &*@#ing power went out. Oh, well, at least my reason for being angry is small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Odin Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Hospitals, and other critical places have back up generators. In case there is a power outage they still have power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
