City wide outage

pishta said

we had a wind 'event' happen and there was a 1 mile stretch of Navy power poles all flattened in the same direction. Not sure of one snapped and took the whole mile with it or what. From my perspective, they were pretty flimsy looking poles to begin with. Maybe 8", not the Edison 15's + I climb. Those snapped poles are scary looking

We had one of those at Vandenberg AFB. Drove past the guard shack and it was dark, down the road a mile or so a half dozen poles laying on the ground :realcrazy: "Ah Man! I'll have to listen to that frickin' Cat all day." We heard rumors about VAFB's base power issues long before we got there and had a big Cat genset next to the concrete plant. I see little sparks on the power line insulators on the drive in to work, warm up the generator :lol:.
