Of course, they would be adding raging rivers and torrential downpours.<br /><br />Can you recall the huge blackout on the east coast a few years ago? I don't know what grid we're on, but we had power while the entire surrounding area was without.

They decided to be very clever and cook whole chickens on the barbecue, so they dressed and arranged five of them on the spit ready to cook. It wasn't until they went to plug in the spit that they realized...oops, this is not going to work!<br /><br />Seriously, though, as you so ably describe, ChrisJ, it was far from a mere inconvenience for those in the cities. You can read an interesting article about the horrendous ramifications of it, and the passing of the buck as to the cause of it, here:<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Blackout_of_2003<br /><br />Ontario commemorates the occasion every August 14th as a day to maximize energy conservation.kaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808550103489943108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-5573859686641904172011-09-14T04:49:18.427-07:002011-09-14T04:49:18.427-07:00Have you ever read Jeffery Deaver's The Burnin...Have you ever read Jeffery Deaver's The Burning Wire?
