Power Outage

08-10-2009 Power Outage

With last nights high wind storm, my power naturally went out at 9:20pm and remained out till 11:00am today. Almost 13 hours to fix the same break that happens every time the equivalent of a squirrel sneeze blows through the neighborhood. Meanwhile Redford, known for constant outages when I lived there, now now has reliable power. Perhaps the problem is actually my electric personality overloading whatever grid I'm living on. At least my generator gets a regular workout, preventing the need for monthly maintenance runs.

You should have a script tied into your weather application that’s connected to your circuit breaker so anytime the wind exceeds 8mph or it precipitates, or anything besides a calm sunny day it shuts your power off. That way it will increase the life on your electronics.

Your server is substandard... I'm dissapointed in your lack of technological backup,

I told him he needs a lighting rod with a way to store the power from the lighting strikes which could power his house for months. Instead he went with the HomeStatus thing so he know's when Lisa leaves the doors open.

Brilliant decision on his part...

Just out of mild curiosity, i'd like to know what exactly is the equivalent of a squirrel sneeze. Because, I can think of several factors that would in fact change the velocity, of said sneeze.

I don't get the "peanut" joke. Am I the only one?
Stavos

Lisa's sneezing might factor in as well!
