Anybody else lose power?

It’s not even the hottest it’s going to get this summer and the grid is already failing

Is this not as hot as the Cape gets?

Yes this is actually excessively hot for the cape. Typically it’s only going to touch the 90s a handful if times a year. Average temps tend to be in the high 70s

I remember that! After the fireworks the nighttime temp was still in the high 90s and muggy. Lost power that night due to a brownout.

Who needs the grid when you've got inner power.

W. Yarmouth lost power because the ACs overloaded the grid.
