massive Florida power outage

goldenmean · 02-26-2008, 05:32 PM

I am having lunch and CNN is on talking about a massive power outage in Central and Southern Florida. I immediately think of all the Reef tanks

and all the RS reefers that must be sweating bullets waiting for the power to come back on.

Im trying to send power to you all.

I hope power is restored soon!!

It was probably Lynn trying to mess with her chiller, or something electrical! Blacked out half of Florida!

I heard that a couple of nuclear plants shut down when they lost off-site power.
They dont know why.

I talked to my sister in Orlando at about 2-ish she was fine, no outages then. I'll check in a bit.

You know Frank keeps telling me I will burn the house down someday. Guess that extra return pump was a bit too much.
It's fine here at work. I certainly hope it is at home as well.

I just spoke to my mother who is in Palm Bay, Fla. She has power but says the news is talking like 1million are without power from Daytona all the way to Miami. The cause is unknown but NOT due to any storm. She heard on the news because the way that the electical 'system' is set up, it must have been turned off manually.

Some jokster pulled the plug!

lcstorc · 02-26-2008, 06:34 PM

It wasn't me. I swear.
Still have power at the house for now. Hope it stays that way,

kathywithbirds · 02-26-2008, 06:53 PM

Yup. Sister's good too, didn't even know about it.

InLimbo87 · 02-26-2008, 07:05 PM

All good here in Orlando! The power flickered at work today, but as far as I can tell it looks like the power stayed on at home... whew
