Re: Power outage in North East

[N. Richard Solis]

I just got off the phone with an old boss of mine.  ;-)  It would appear 
that there is a large fire at a ConEd plant that has now caused a 
cascading power outage in the Northeast.  Some more plants may have 
tripped offline because of the load they absorbed from the loss of the 
other plant.

If I get more information, I'll post.
