Done as a test?....

Remember, if you listened to the AP video below at the end, , have plenty of water and supplies...at 2.22...it refers to the emergency supply plans YOU talked about for years.......R U prepared?

Well many r not, as my friends and family in Cali saw.......preparedness is the hint here!!!

One thing for sure...Better to keep ur tank full, and not let it run low!!!!..

Keep food, water, flashlight, tools, blanket, pillow and etc...in cars at all times...You don't know when you will get caught away from home...

What I find very very very odd, is the lack of coverage on it from main stream media..

My friend was stranded at a gas station along with many people who had low fuel, not enough to get home from work.. They were waiting for the pumps to turn back on.. there was a line out the door of people buying snack food because they hadn't eaten dinner...the city was in grid-lock..people were stranded in elevators and stuck on amtrak...grounded flights...it was a mess..plus they were suffering from a heat wave..   I would of figured that we would of been sick of hearing the news on it by now with flooded information...but no, instead we get..."limited news".....?????? Weird..

If the equipment was ONLY monitoring equipment they have a lame excuse.  Monitering means to watch!  not to controll.

"The outage was likely caused by an employee removing a piece of monitoring equipment that was causing problems at a power substation in southwest Arizona, officials said. The power loss should have been limited to the Yuma, Arizona, area. The power company, Arizona Public Service, was investigating why the outage wasn't contained."

Yep, solar flares.

There is no doubt in my mind that the outage was the results of the first X flair.  A second X flair could cause a second outage.

Yes, Brian lives in that area.
