Well, I thought my electrical problems were over.
About five minutes ago, however, the lights went out. Looking out the windows, I can see that the lights are out in several neighboring blocks as well. I can still see skyglow, and some lights further away, so it’s not the whole city.
(4 minutes to shutdown.)
After the first couple of minutes, the power came on for about 15 seconds and then went off again. That can’t be a good sign. It probably means that some sort of backup plan has also failed.
(2 minutes to shutdown.)
Still dark.
Until civilization returns, this is Windypundit, signing off…
Update: Power came back on about 10:20 local time.
The best part is that the UPS for the Tivo didn’t give out—although it was sounding the alarm for the last few minutes before power returned—so we got all of the Daily Show.
What? Doesn’t everyone have their DVR and cable box on a UPS?
