DID SOMEBODY FORGET TO PAY THE DETROIT POWER BILL THIS MONTH?

I think “Dark Detroit” fits in so many ways.

And the looting begins in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1………

It’ll be done in the memory of Downtown Michael Brown.

Images From A Dark Detroit: “Major Cable Failure” Sparks Widespread Power Outage

Tyler Durden's picture

Just 15 months after Detroit’s Black Out 2013 debacle, spokespeople for the city and DTE Energy confirmed at around 11:00 a.m. local time on Tuesday that most of Detroit’s municipal grid is offline:

  • *DETROIT CITES ‘MAJOR CABLE FAILURE’ FOR POWER OUTAGE
  • *DETROIT: OUTAGE IS AFFECTING ALL CUSTOMERS ON THE PLD GRID

The outage is preventing power from being delivered to police stations, schools, traffic lights and other city-run facilities and services.

 

As RT reports,

“It looks like the entire Detroit Public Lighting system is down. Affecting about 100 buildings, places like The Joe, Frank Murphy Hall of Justice, fire stations, schools.

 

We were notified about 10:30 a.m. We’re working with them to help resolve the situation. We’ll help investigate the problem and make repairs. It’s too early yet to determine what has caused the shutdown,” Scott Simons of DTE Energy Co. told the Detroit News.

Evacuations have begun across the city:

Interesting …

Most of the people inside the building are white ………. most of the people outside are black.

Why is that?

This actually happened in Ocala, FL. They have a municipal power company that has no generation plant of its own and purchases 100% of their power from whatever wholesaler offers the cheapest deal. Welllll, about 2 PM on a Saturday all the sudden it’s BLACKOUT, and when the truth be told, one of the bureaucrats down at city hall forgot their power contract was expiring. Took about 2 hours and lots of ‘splainin’ before the power resumed.

Why is this national news? I mean, outages happen all the time, somewhere or the other. My mother experienced TWO in a year that lasted a week each in her area in suburban St Louis, that also affected 100,000 other people there. One was at the top of summer and the other was in the middle of January.
