Lovely. Avista Power/ inentional blackout in Spokane (Spokamentro)

Just now turned on the "5 O'clock news." They are reporting power shutdowns in parts of Spokane. Now that cowtown (about 40-50mi from me) IS NOT THAT LARGE a cowtown. That tells me if Avista can't keep up in this little hick burg, they are way behind the curve.

And.........of course, "you know people." On person "the news" talked to reported "The only way he could stay cool is driver around in his car."
