BUMP for no power at U woods

This sucks. I wasn't planning on sleeping for several more hours

Lol I just went outside and people are camped out outside bc there isn't shit to do inside. Progress energy says it will be 1:30 before they get it back on

twitter says: Power's out in southwest Raleigh NC. @progressenergy estimates it will be back in 90 minutes. Call 800-419-6356

6/7/2010 12:10:17 AM

90 minutes?

shiiiiit, ours is back on already. 90 seconds, maybe.

6/7/2010 12:11:04 AM

What the hell happened to cause all of SW raleigh to lose power?

6/7/2010 12:11:52 AM

I live in SW Raleigh. No energy loss here.

6/7/2010 12:11:55 AM

This sucks. With no power/ac the temp in my room shot up like 10 degrees. I just want to sleep and its way too hot.

6/7/2010 12:14:36 AM

worst thing is if I go to sleep now everything will wake me up when it kicks back on

6/7/2010 12:15:16 AM

No power at tryon and avent ferry. Cmon progress energy what kind of crap is this?

6/7/2010 12:16:25 AM

Also this is making me realize that i really cant sleep in silence and without my fan on. Every noise one of my roommates makes sounds like 100db...

6/7/2010 12:18:56 AM

Out at home, out at ruckus.

6/7/2010 12:20:15 AM

Congrats to whatever is keeping the power alive on Gorman Street.

6/7/2010 12:21:05 AM

certainly enron has something to do with this

6/7/2010 12:21:05 AM

I'm the same way. The silence is way too loud for me to fall asleep. If that makes any sense

Yea my room is HOT. Gonna go for a walk. This continues to suck

6/7/2010 12:21:28 AM

Out at home, out at ruckus.

6/7/2010 12:22:47 AM

Out at home, out at ruckus.

6/7/2010 12:28:39 AM

6/7/2010 12:37:16 AM

Power is off from atleast the corner of Tryon/(that middle school road) and all the way up to the papa johns on western

6/7/2010 12:44:37 AM

Outage extends al the way to yates mill pond rd and tryon. I went for a drive cuz I was bored
What's the deal on traffic lights? If they're dead, you treat it like a 4 way stop right?

Some people missed that memo

6/7/2010 12:57:25 AM

^Yeah, I want to drive around and see how big this is but I'm sure there's plenty of jackasses around who don't even think to stop at a dead light.

6/7/2010 12:59:13 AM

I'm at work, but my server is still running back at my apartment... so I guess my power is on at The Links off Tryon.

6/7/2010 1:01:13 AM

It stops at lake wheeler. Something happened on tryon between campus crossings and trailwood. Cops and progress energy all over the side of the road.

I'M BORED DAMMIT

"Trespassers burned after touching high-voltage equipment Raleigh, N.C. — Two people were badly burned after they touched equipment at a transformer substation off Tryon Road and were shocked by 23,000 volts of electricity, according to Wake County sheriff’s officials. Investigators are searching for the third person. The people’s names were not released, but authorities say they are all in their mid-20s. One person was rushed to UNC Hospitals. While the station was up and running Monday morning, Progress Energy officials said the incident did tens of thousands of dollars in damage and left about 12,000 homes temporarily without power. Crew members said they have no idea why the trio would have wanted to get inside the area, because there is nothing to steal."

6/7/2010 8:38:44 AM

At least the power came back on basically right at midnight so we didn't have to work too hard resetting clocks.
