We here have a draw bridge stuck open on Merritt Island and the traffic lights are out in Cocoa Beach (just across the river) My daughter works less than a mile from me at a bank and they are without power. I really don't if my home is w/o power or not. My biggest concern is WHY this happened. I hope the diaperheads aren't the cause. If I can be there I will. The power is coming on & off all over.

Holy hell!
Wow. Well I don't think it's the 'diaperheads'. Our electrical system is in dire need of revamp. Just like our bridges, most of this stuff was built from the 50's into the 80's. When I lived in Phx we had a transformer explode and catch fire. The transformer was 30 years old. The problem with mass voltage transformers, they are filled with oil. So once it starts a fire, it isn't going to go out until all oil is burned.
On another note...
Well in light of the recent changes to the tuesday race series going belly up, should we just stop and restart a new one? or should we give this week a bye week? looks like alot are not going to show up for the race as it is.
