I'm posting this here to ask if last night 7-30-07, Monday night, anyone else experienced the loss of electricity in their town.

Yesterday I was shopping in a store when the power went out. Later on the 4 o'clock news they gave the area, about 3 square m iles and said it was out 3 hours due to a "birds nest".

At 7pm, I was anxiously waiting to write down the numbers off T.V. when my pow er went out.  It stayed off till 12:30 AM last night. It was awfully hot with no air conditioning.  A nieghbor came home from work in a nearby town and said a sign in Starbucks annouced they were closed for "National Brown-Out Night".

Today I used a couple search engines but found nothing for that term. Hummmm. They want to build a nuclear power plant here. . .could this be to rally us around the idea, I'm thinking.. .

Did anyone else have power outage last night??????? What town???
