We had a surge here, but it came back up right away...don't think it had anything to do with the big one.

I have a friend who runs a subshop here in town.... I had him running of my power inverters in my jeep for a few hours....
then.. here's something strange... a friend stopped by and was wondering why her cell phone charger would not work in her car... so i went to take a look to see if i could take care of it.... well... at the end of the street, there is a traffic light, which had obviously been out all day, and was still out at the time... Well... i found the bad fuse, pulled it, went to the jeep, got a new one... AS SOON AS i put that new fuse in.... the traffic light came back on.. so that was it the whole time... it was that damn fuse... So thanks to me, we've all got power once again

TA-DA!!!
Power has been restored. Thanks for replacing that fuse, Snitty.
After a few hours without power and impending darkness, I fired up my CJ -- collectively christened as the "Bubbacon" by a smart-alecky wife and equally smart-alecky daughters -- and drove it to my boat to retrieve a large flashlight and kerosene lantern kept aboard.
Once out of the city and the heart-pounding excitement of busy intersections minus functional traffic lights, what a beautiful night for a ride!
Just when I pulled into my driveway on my return, our electrical power was restored.
An unnecessary trip, but an excellent adventure and great night ride in the Bubbacon.
There is always a silver lining...

Squirrels??? No way!
You are all missing the obvious! Do we never learn???
I had to refresh my memory, so I reviewed a lot of web info regarding the NE Blackout of 1965.
Yes, folks. It was just as I remembered -- UFOs.
The UFOs did it.
If you review the news media reports of the 1965 NE Blackout, you will be struck by the similarity of the news reports you are seeing, hearing and reading today.
There was a great deal of press reporting and speculation of the relationship of the hundreds of spontaneous UFO sightings right at the time of the 1965 blackout. There was even testimony to the inevitable post-blackout Congressional Investigative Committees regarding the UFO connection.
Case closed: UFOs did it.
It was not terrorist squirrels.
Two-to-one money says we will hear about UFOs before this is over.
As Yogi said: "It is deja vu all over again."
