SW03ES Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 We weren't here in washington. Sk hasn't been on, my guess is he must have been hit since he's usually here several times a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviej Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 I'm just south of Boston, the only thing not lighting up here are the Red Sox. :( Actually sk hasn't posted for a few days previous to the blackout. I wonder if he is on a vacation without a computer. We all need to do that once in a while. If not, I hope all is well. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amf1932 Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Yup, I was hit yesterday at exactly 4:11¾PM. I didn't get my power back until this evening until about 7:00PM. I live in a top floor apartment so it got pretty hot...90º. I was more worried about the food in my freezer spoiling, but luckily it was OK. A couple of times I walked down 6 flights of stairs and got in my car to cool off with the air conditioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Best thing is the power plant. They showed film of the plant with not just smoke, but hot flames shooting out of the stacks, then Bloomberg says "There was no fire, smoke coming from the stacks when the boilers are off is normal" BS! We SAW the flames! After that, everyone said they were mistaken like good puppets and the film of the flaming plant was never shown again. Something is very wrong I agree.
