i remember that blackout .

SJ · 10-16-2009, 12:35 PM

had to rent a water pump (the huge ass kind) and wait by the side of a road with it - so we could pump out water from a river - into a huge holding tank... which we then had to water like 300 cattle with...

what a fucking headache... I sat there with the pump so no one would steal it while my dad and a few others transported... looking back on it - we should have rented a fucking pump truck..

Spaz · 10-16-2009, 12:40 PM

that sucks bigtime..

SJ · 10-16-2009, 12:43 PM

yep... that blackout was not something I want to relive anytime soon

Spaz · 10-16-2009, 12:47 PM

i didn't read that whole story there
what was the final cause of it....

SJ · 10-16-2009, 12:50 PM

the power outage?

they claim it was caused by a station in ohio failing to restart a monitoring device after a surge and re-adjustment, which then caused a cascade effect in power demands...

couple that with a flaw in the core software then controls the alerts - which meant surrounding power stations didn't know that the data they were monitoring was almost a full minute out of sync and that in turn caused these dips and spike and it tripped a bunch of safety measures that automatically disconnected stations from the grid...

there was also some mistake that caused power in ontario and a few states to flow, spike, reverse direction and the flip again - which really fucked things up for us up here

It was an early test of an upcoming "fire sale".

oh and the spike in wattage through the lines causes them to sag - so when they transferred all this load - the lines sagged and touched tree's causing them to short circuit - which then put more demands on lines that couldn't handle the flow - so they were automatically disconnected..

SJ · 10-16-2009, 12:53 PM

IF you believe all that...

I still think it was an attack...

Europe laughed at us cause of it and our inferior electric system - and then they had something real similar happen... coincidence? or someone proving a point?

Spaz · 10-16-2009, 12:56 PM

that is possible . but i dont know.

SJ · 10-16-2009, 01:21 PM
