Hello to all friends in your respective corners of the Earth!

Good morning Brian. These vibes are just right for making me breakfast.

Hello earthlings. Greetings from Krypton

*changing costumes*

Good morning (or perhaps other time of day on Krypton) all!

Yeah, the storm here was like being on a Universal Studios "haunted house" film or something. Lighting just every half second, sheets of rain changing direction seemingly randomly, was crazy

I have not experienced such a long, intense storm in a long time! I don't now how debilitating it was far and wide, but it looked like PSE&G registered a lot of power outages

Great track

Jazzy and funky

Our power was out from about 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m.

Interesting to hear! I always wonder if these outages are really just sporadic downed power lines, or whether something more centralized goes down

Good stuff 🤘👨‍🍳

science! love these facts and updates

Thanks for tuning in Emeril and Guelo! Glad you're liking the tunes and info!

and the music :)

In my neighborhood, the power lines are buried. But the area outside has above ground lines. Didn't notice any sign of downed lines this morning.

woah... this is what I imagine the covid sounds like as its trying to get past my blood brain barrier...

@Dave: I guess a few bottlenecks cause widespread outage if damaged. I don't think there's much redundancy built in...

@Guelo: The indomitable Jeff Snyder captures it all!

I recall during Superstorm Sandy, while my neighborhood was out for 5 days, another only a mile away never lost power.

Thank you Dave! Compiling all this information never goes seamlessly, it seems...

Very interesting, informative, and thought provoking show as always. Thanks for researching and sharing all this knowledge, have a great week!

Thank you for being here! Glad it becomes food for thought. There is a lot to learn out there!
