Anonymous Coward User ID: 2481405 United States 07/01/2012 04:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, even if people did lose power before the storm, doesn't it matter where the actually grid is located? Quoting: Starry eyes I thought the grid was damaged? I'm not that knowledgeable on power grids. ...or could it have been a solar storm and the storm was created to make it look like it was the storm's fault?? I know weird conspiracy! lol theyre burning the grid - reports of line fires. That wouldn't explain why DC was hit. If they're going to intentionally take the whole thing down, DC will be the last to go since that's where their power structure is. Northern Virginia (home to many govt agencies and contractors, aka the hub of the Military Industrial Complex) was the hardest hit over here. I am in DC and, luckily, kept my power. In fact, I slept through the whole thing. I am on the same grid as the Capitol so that helps, my friend just 5 miles to the south loses power for days in every small storm. I was able to fill up my gas tank no problem. The shopping center up the street from me has been out since yesterday but all I did was drive 5 or so miles to find gas, open stores, no lines. I grabbed two 6-packs of beer from my favorite liquor store, warm dinner and a tank of gas and settled back in at home. It was not mayhem on the streets. Traffic lights are out and people are acting crazy on the road but other than that, we're good. We all know if they were "imploding" the grid, they certainly wouldn't go for DC. Many are still without power here and will be for quite some time. It isn't intentional, it's because Pepco (our local power authority) is inept and many lines are still above ground despite this happening any time the wind blows. |

User ID: 18937828 United States 07/01/2012 04:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I find it shameful that some people here will kick those who have fallen down. How about making useful posts or not wasting our time? For instance, in a disaster area, the area around hospitals will usually not lose power as most are essential services and have specially protected utility services. If they do, government will get them back online first since people would start dying in the hospitals when back-up generators reached their limits. Any businesses near a hospital stand a good chance of having power throughout the event or shortly after it passes. Think food, air conditioning, perhaps gasoline if you are lucky. If you know of any Asian owned donut shops, they seem to open before other restaurants. I think it has to do with their work ethic and preparation for staying in business. If a nearby neighbor has a power generator, perhaps he will share an extension cord to your house to keep your refrigerator going. Of course that means you actually have to be civilized enough to speak to your neighbor. If you have a coffee maker, you can use it to make a pot of steaming hot water. Just put in a filter without the coffee. A properly working maker should heat the water hot enough to kill most bacteria. I don't maintain your maker, so Your Mileage May Vary. Good luck to everyone in that area. Pull together and your people will come through this. 7 Billion people on the planet! That's a BIG number! And I am one. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 18293570 United Kingdom 07/01/2012 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now my mother heard from a neighbor that the water plant is being shut down??? Quoting: Starry eyes I'm in a panic. She has 3 days worth of food... They probably dont have good battery/gen back-up for the pumps,your mom should start boiling some drinking water like today. Water is first thing she should take care of! Agreed. Any time there's a big storm or disaster the first thing I do is fill the tub with water out of habit. That's in case the storm makes any more water that comes through the pipes undrinkable or if it breaks the pipes. Same here. Water is the first thing to think about, and most people have very little stored water. |

It was quite an interesting experience tho. It makes you realize how hard life would become if the power goes out for good. I hope everyone is safe and is keeping cool. |

Quoting: Starry eyes Insane. Can anyone else from the area report (that is, if you reserved your power on your laptop) I also cannot keep a cell phone signal long enough with her.. Meh, if America had to lose one state I'd b ok with WV. The whole state smells like hog shit. You have no fucking clue. WV is a beautiful state. I have lived here my entire life and I can honestly say it doesnt smell like hog shit unless you are on a farm with hogs. You most likely got a good smell of your own breath if you thought you smelled hog shit. |
