158th and Jenkins in Beaverton... Transformer on fire BIG TIME

[Viva_La_Revolution]

My kid made me post this... he's glued to channel 12. :P

If your power is out, now you know why. :rofl:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

1. 50,000 customers out of power

in Washington and Yamhill counties.

Several hours to repair, as conditions are too dangerous for firefighters to get close enough.

2. off, then on, then off, then on, about 10 times last night

part of their grid "switching" procedure, I guess. During the "on" parts of their procedure, I saw some of the fire coverage.

I am really PISSED at PGE right now: "We'll just let the transformer burn to the ground" -- SAY WHAT?

We pay the highest prices in the region for electricity and THAT's their master plan for dealing with substation fires? Let it burn to a cinder and hope it doesn't spread?

Whatever happened to air-dropping fire retardant? :grr:
