Massive Power Outage FL.

Like from Daytona to Miami, 8 power plants down. Strange.

4 million without power.

Obviously terrorists. And I'll tell you this: if we have an election right now, they'll see it as a sign of weakness.

I think they should have an immediate election in Florida using only electronic voting machines.

That was pretty funny. And a joke of course. It's The Onion man.

Here in Tampa we were without power for about an hour and a half. I had been messing with the game consoles just as the power went out, so I thought I had somehow blown a fuse or something. After hearing from Kitsune that the majority of the state was without power, I figured it couldn't have been my fault after all and took a nap.
