Breaking: Major power outage in Annapolis MD. Reports of "fire in the sky"

[icwhatudo]

Relative on Eastern shore says all lights out on Western side of Bay Bridge. Green and red lights in sky.

I just had a horrible thought, many speculate spaced aliens visited the ancient races like the Toltecs and such, what if the Mayan date is actually when we make first contact?

And its not friendly? What with colored lights description its sounding like something from a Spielburg film.

[silverleaf]

another strange thing- there hasn’t been any air traffic over us for hours, usually we have constant air traffic into BWI and can hear them even when we can’t see them in rain and fog but not tonight

close encounters?

goin’ to bed!

It’s the end of MArYlANd !

If you remove 'rld' from MArYlANd, you are left with 'MAYAN' and 'rld'.

(with the exception of a few MD FReepers, that really wouldn’t be the end of the world)

I'm sorry to say that 'rld' IS the end of the world.

Shopping after dark...that’s funny. And that’s why I put “pranks” in parenthesis.

do you know where Darks was

Last report I received from my DPLS* showed him about to launch a flanking manuver around Nextel. Then all went, um, dark...

We ARE dooooooooooooooooooooooomed!

[NoCmpromiz]

And that’s why I put “pranks” in parenthesis.

And based on another post in this thread, I wonder if Indianapolis is ready for these, er, 'pranks'...

Betcha the 'shoppers will be surprised to see that the lights are still on in Indianapolis... ;-)

“You idiots—we said ‘attack Mayaland’-— not Maryland.”

I am going to be laughing at that all night!

Some pretty interesting videos on this site (and funny - especially the first 2) of the flashing sky in Annapolis at the start of the apocalypse - http://z6mag.com/offbeat/annapolis-maryland-massive-substation-explosion-puts-46000-without-power-during-outage-video-1617110.html

- substation Completely blew out

Wouldn't you think the utility would be able to confirm that quickly if it were the case? So far they haven't.

Here in our little town we had 83 mph winds the other night and within about 30 minutes the utility had every failure point up on a map.

So this is still a little mysterious.

Thanks, the changing colors in the video titled “Apocalypse Near Annapolis” are remarkable.
