I live in west ames and our power has been out for a while. Just curious about others to see how many are out.

Blackberry. I knew when posting it may be a longshot since most of my audience wouldn't be able to respond if they had no power. But it was worth a shot.

my lights have flickered 3 or 4 times since about 9:30. oddly enough, my microwave and alarm clocks are still on the right time and my TV hasn't turned off once, but my printer has restarted every time.

Brownouts followed by an entire block of street lights shutting off. Happened at least twice tonight.

And also thank goodness we were able to bail out enough water in the sump pump pit that it didn't flood our basement. We finished wrapping some present for this weekend by flashlight.

I know it!!! I was hoping to hear what caused it... I expected to hear that PR was creating such a powerful coaching staff that it took down the power grid from West Ames...:smile:
