The latest numbers suggest that there were actually over 4 million people without power today. Thankfully they say it wasn't terror or criminal related. You wouldn't think such a small malfunction would cause such a huge chain reaction outage. It almost reminds you of that huge outage the Northeast experienced awhile back.

Yeah but those outages are usually very minor and hit or miss.

I don't recall any power outages today. BTW, I don't get electricity from Florida Power & Light, I get it from Gulf Power, which would probably explain why I experienced no outages.

LOL, yeah I think that would explain it. 

The number is 3 million Vic.

Apparently at 1:09PM this afternoon millions of Florida Power and Light customers were sent into darkness after a problem at the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant caused what's being called a "domino effect" of power outages throughout south Florida.

I wonder if Stephen is affected? I see he has not been here at all today...

EDIT: I stand corrected. He has been here today. I just must've missed him.

Then you don't know just how much equipment you'd need. 

Even if it was tens of thousands, where do you think you'd get that?

Yea, running a channel is not something to do for fun. I know an office building where many stations are headquartered so I'll probably will have to talk to the folks down there. Plus Millions of dollars?! :shocked:

Gosh, I can barely afford After Effects!

Yeah millions of dollars. You didn't think all that equipment was cheap, did you?

Vic, I'm not going to answer that. I don't want to drag this topic OT any further.

And how exactly do you plan to get all the equipment necessary to run a station? Your talking millions of dollars easy.

I'm going with b)1995. Lots of flavor changes took place in 1995, so I'm thinking the J got axed that year.

I wasn't being nasty or anything when I removed the thread Kyle created. I just thought that the things you were posting were more than deserving of their own thread.
