If you live on the East Coast start charging your backup batteries and have the generators ready. This is NOT good! Places like NYC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Boston and similar could see POWER LOSS today because the Grid will be stretched to it's limit.

Most of all KEEP IN MIND that the Pavement Apes thrive and become VIOLENT in extreme heat as is the nature of their genetic make-up. Should the power go out you can BE SURE they will get it thru their 84-Point IQ minds to go and loot the stores as there will be NO POWER to operate security systems and similar. Places like the Liquor Store will be VERY HIGH on their list of places to go trash and loot, as will be street corners as they assault stuck traffic and similar. If you are on the East Coast you need to LOAD FOR BEAR today an be on guard. Keep safe and be vigilant. we may get a 'small taste' of what it's like in South Africa today in some cities if the power goes off and the Apes start to pour out into the street in 110F heat.

If the power goes out in Chicago, the nigger population will see a dramatic decline

The nigger population will begin branching out to find what they can from the surrounding prepared suburbs.

We need to send $50,000,000,000 more to Israel and another $5,000,000,000,000 in free gibs for the poor unfortunate oppressed minorities.

How conveeeenient. And reasonable. It's hot as fuck and a (ten) million muricans cranking up the AC on a friday evening is... Well, that's 'murica: prioritizing personal comfort above pretty much anything else.

If the convenience-fueled brownouts provide cover for MILOPs, so much the better. "Never let a crisis go to waste" (- rahm emmanuel, paraphrased) and soforth.

Hot days like today account for 1% of the run hours but 20% of the capacity requirements. In places like NYC, it makes the grid utilization efficiency very low, like 60% instead of 90%

You got the idea. To a tee. I strongly suggest loading up the Mossberg or Glock should the SNB's decide to take advantage of the opportunity later today to go out and 'chimp' in large numbers.

Madison, WI

2 separate electrical substation fires occur at the same time, miles apart. They mention it casually - but don't take the issue any further.

2019-07-16 | Heat wave could cause power outages in New York City, Chicago, D.C.

'An upcoming heat wave could lead to power outages in the central and eastern U.S., including the major metropolitan areas of New York City, Washington and Chicago, experts say. '

'A widespread blackout Saturday in New York City left much of Manhattan without electricity. ', "Christina Harper, a spokeswoman for Pepco, said the city's primary public utility company is preparing for power outages, although it is not necessarily expecting them."

'Con Edison said Tuesday that demand for power in Westchester County and New York City was 10,541 megawatts. '

'That is well below the highest demand for power in history, Drury said, which happened during a heat wave in July 2013. '
