Remember to stay as prepared as you can for sudden drops in temperature. Recent power outages in the abovementioned W. Texas community have reportedly been caused by cold weather. Various parts of the country including the usually balmy S. California have experienced sudden drops in temperature.

After a run of nice, rather balmy days and nights in W. Texas the chill factor awhile ago was about 13 degrees. Ugh. From nights that were high forties to 13??!!

: Major Power Outages Hit West Texas Community - Dumb Smart
: Meters - Again? SAFETY BULLETIN

: This time the power outages in the West Texas Community of San
: Angelo, Tx. are major enough that a local online news
: article at www dot gosanangelo dot com posted an article on
: it and how residents should not call 911 to report the
: outage, but listed the AEP phone number and online link to
: notify of power failures. Probably, there must have been so
: many respondents calling 911 over this it required a public
: notification to ease the emergency services loads.

: In the interest of safety, people are being informed to regard
: traffic lights which have failed as four way stop
: intersections.

: No matter how hard the electrical contractors keep working on
: the lines to maintain the local grid it seems these pesky
: outages continue to occur and this one looks like a real
: 'doozie'. Though most of the recent house fires and other
: fires in the area have been listed under various causes it
: still is apparent that there are way too many fires since
: the introduction of Smart Meters and many of the house
: fires are on older structures.

: Whether the Smart Meters or the Smart Meter corresponding
: 'new' transformers are causing the problems it does seem
: that the grid has been made weaker and is less dependable
: than before these Smart Meter radio meters were installed
: in so many homes and businesses.

: When will the Smart Meter advocates and electric companies
: step up and change the grid back to a dependable one which
: could not be easily hacked and easily broken by weather?
