As i recall it happened in the '60s and they didnt fix the redundancies back then either - so much for privatised power, eh? *giggles*IP: Logged |

OK guys, get prepared,the news states that the worm that's going around,is gonna reach it's peak on Saturday,they say that they speculate that that's what might be the cause,all what going on is interconnected all together all over the east coast,they say that the government states that even though it's not an actual terrorist attack(with bombs,explosions and people dying),it still might be an attack indeed! Please,anybody that lives on the west coast or where you are Lioneye,tell me if you guys have been having problems with your PCs! It's a power grid called S.C.A.T.A that got burned out!IP: Logged |

Get an anti-virus software and start looking periodically for any viruses and get rid of them! If it hasn't reached you yet,believe me it will! I had two so far and the effects it gave me was that I couldn't turn on my PC,unless I had to open her up and rearrange the wires.IP: Logged |

All of this interconnection is generated by some kind of software,so far as they know.IP: Logged |

OK, now there saying that someone said that their was a fire at Con-Edison,but the Governor said that's not true,then they said that the prime-minister of Canada states that their was a thunder storm in Ontario and that a lightning bolt over the Niagra Falls caused it to happen,but the US government states that the Falls and FDR-St.Lawrence is running fine,they're still trying to find out what is going on.IP: Logged |

Nope, all of Toronto and everything south of it is out, and it's because a power generator at Niagra Falls was hit with lightening. Power won't be back until sometime tomorrow, and people are stuck in elevators and subways everywhere! IP: Logged |
