My boss lost power last night for about 6 hours. He talked to National Grid and they said there were widespread outages last night because of the load on the grid. With today and tomorrow being much worse than yesterday I’m guessing there is a good chance of a major blackout. I know my central air kicked on before 7:30am this morning, and I’ve never seen it run that early in the day before.

I can only hope the power annhilates itself this afternoon, and the generator self destructs, leaving the building too hot to stay within and sending everyone home for a nice day of relaxing by the pool.

Wow, you should have just heard my boss cursing when I relayed that message. He lives not far from there and was without power for 6 hours last night. :lol:
I just called my house and got my Vonage voicemail, so I know I have power. I bet the central air is cranking full force too.
