It is really hot here by our standards (80s-90s) and very humid,
but we've had no power cuts. (I don't think people are being careful,
either.) Thank goodness!

Power outages throughout US and in the Central Valley (CA, 110 degrees or
so). They've lasted just a few hours, so far. Governator requested certain
energy cutbacks (don't use major appliances until 7 pm, one lightbulb per
room--only in the room you're in, etc.) and both the large buildings and
individual citizens seem to be complying.
In CA, we have a system of "rolling blackouts." Works fairly well, when it's
needed. Enron and Halliburton robbed the state, a few years back, pretending we
needed those blackouts when there was actually plenty of available energy in
our region. But that's something else.
Sympathies to all on this planet. Cool water is wonderful, isn't it?
