Traffic lights still out at 13th & Stange. Many confused people as to who has the right of way. Avoid at all cost.

Just came back for me.

Interesting tweet from the ISU Daily:
A man collapsed at the power plant due to heat exhaustion.

I was in the Daily newsroom when the power went out. Been quite a day.

Well, the power went out at my apartment here at university village. So I just went outside and played some basketball. Came back and power was back on.

I can vouch for this, I just went through it. And that intersection is bad enough around this time when the lights are working. I have power on Wood Street btw.

Those pictures ISU Daily had up were kinda reminding me of the Northeast Blackout back in 2003... that was actually worth talking about!
