how come the US have such a ridiculously un-resilient power grid?? -----Original Message----- From: Adam.Baum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Adam.Baum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 18 August 2003 16:49 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: [OT] Power Out So if I understand you correctly, you started all this?

(came on about 7 oclock Friday and probably one of the last to come up in the area I think) I lost all of the food in my refrigerator and freezer (probably about $500 worth) It was crazy. The store shelves were cleared of bottled water, batteries and ice within an hour...you couldn't buy gas anyplace to even run your backup generator even if you had one because the pumps didn't work anyplace. The library I work for is in Parma where they were trying to claim the outage started.(right up the street from the GM plant) We had an initial quick outage at 4:06 on thursday and then it went out at 4:09. The papers originally reported that power was lost at 4:28 which really threw me for a loop. Anyways....no doubt I was right in the heart of it. The power at the library was up at 10 or 11 am on Friday so the Parma area where they were claiming it started came up sooner than the grid by my house.
