More on blackout…

I just heard a report that TMobile is down. I’m on AT&T so I’m good for the moment, but that might, of course, change. Here’s hoping I stay up.
This laptop, a big Toshiba running Ubuntu is claiming it’s out of power so it’s probably time to switch to another one. 1 down, 3 to go.
HECO is now telling us that the power went down because 4 power lines were lost throwing off our grids. Since it’s night, rainy, and there are thunderstorms so it will definitely be a “long haul.”
I just took a look at the radar screens on the Weather Underground and the last pictures are from 6:50pm. They are now “down for maintenance.”
Aloha!
