We spent a bit of the day without power at work, today. I thought it was due to the massive storms that rolled through North Florida, but apparently there was a glitch in Florida's electrical grid that cascaded and wound up taking out a number of power plants, including a nuclear power plant.

About 3-4 million people were affected. Amazingly, most seem to have their power back already. A far cry from the weeks we spent without power during a season of hurricanes in 2004. With no clean-up, power comes back quick.
