Wow, another holiday blackout. Oahu seems to be mostly dark because of an island-wide blackout. I’ve heard on the radio that Makakilo has power and there was a report that Nanakuli has power.
Luckily I have a radio that is currently working and about 3 charged up laptops.
The laptops, of course, wouldn’t be much use if I were only using my cable modem as it’s out, as is my wifi (running of the cable of course). But I do have broadband so I’m up!
And now I’ve just heard the blackout was due to a lightning strike, but that is unconfirmed.
The power went out at 6:45pm HST – I was taking a nap at the time but woke up at 7:00pm wondering what the heck was going on.
I had planned to go out to something at 8:00pm, but there’s no way I’m heading out on the road.
Aloha!
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
