The power has flickered pretty bad three times here at work already. My wife who works about 5 miles away said they just lost a compressor to a power surge at her office. Pretty early in the day for the load to already be stressing the grid. Probably not good news for later this afternoon when all the A/C units will be running at max capacity. ---
