Heads up - Power flickering
Just a heads up for everyone in the west end, I noticed the power is flickering in certain spots over here due to the electric storm. I was fortunate enough to be sitting at home when the halides and SEIO's died so I could flick them back on. If you can, check on yours, halides will definetly be off if it flickers, and im not sure if being turned 'on' when they are still too hot to run is bad for them.
Take care, hope tanks are well  Chris

I also heard that the power companies will be shutting off the power for 20-30 min intervals in pretty much every neighborhood this month to save power. Aparently, AB doesn't generate enough electricity of it's own to run home AC units!

I believe we are just sending way too much of it to the US if thats the case...
The water also lost pressure for a few hours yesterday... that might just have been someone diging in their yard though(Hope it wasnt any canreefers installing geothermal chillers cause of the heat wave...  )!

Yeah the city is has been forced into planned 1/2 hour brown outs.
Yesterday they decided rush hour would be a great time to do it! !@#$%!@# This kind of stuff is why I am apprehensive to go to GFI outlets, especially when I travel, because if it trips and nobody switches it back on for a day or two, that can be costly! When I re-do my electrical I think I will run both GFI & regular outlets so I can choose.

Gee, thats a good call Rory!
Umm... yeah we cant be doing that in a province that supplies power to EVERYONE ELSE but itself? Thats ridiculous, number one first, no? Lets just shut down parliment for half the day every day and see how the country runs.... I was wondering yesterday why lights were out all over the west end? I saw this a couple weeks ago too, during rush hour. Lighting.... power companies... whats next... solar storm?
