Dealing with that much power that could have just been some arc
suppressors failing to work when they opened the switches.<br>

keeping in mind they did this while the circuit was at minimum
power you can imagine what opening one under load would be like if
something went badly.<br>

everything and "turn off" a power station, you either have to
gradually isolate sections at a time, or prepare to have load
shedders running to dump all the excess power while the turbines
spin down. They probably didn't have enough capacity to isolate
everything all at once so started powering off sections at a time,
and it just happened that section flooded before it could be
isolated.

makes you wonder if they are not prepared to isolate the

basements were about to flood what chance do we have of them
isolating the transmission network when the next big
geomagnetic storm's on target. Seem's like nothing was
learned from the 1989. Wonder how long those transformers
will take to replace/rewire. Perhaps some one's going to get
an ass kicking.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
