In RED on Drudge now. No siren, though (can’t run without power?)

Obama can’t work in those kinds of conditions.

Good excuse for him to head to a golf outing for the afternoon.

My good friend in a major international tech company is currently monitoring this event and says it is a hack by Russia. They have apparently found a way to gain entry into secure systems that power defcon mission critical buildings and their equipment. That is why the outage is so select. He reports outages occurring at three top secure nuke early warning sites out west as well. It isn’t a dry run - its a direct message from Putin to Obama. At least that is what my “friend” says.

And that’s plausible enough that we can’t tell if you’re well-informed or full of it.

Drudge/Washington Post reports explosion at power plant:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/scattered-power-outages-reported-across-dc-area/2015/04/07/8f4e8b84-dd49-11e4-a500-1c5bb1d8ff6a_story.html

D.C. homeland security officials said an explosion at a southern Maryland electrical facility is believed to have caused the power surge that temporarily knocked out power to the White House and much of downtown Washington.
