Heat wave = bad
Aug. 2nd, 2006 03:49 pmExcessive heat forces CL&P takes some customers off-line in Stamford
I work in the Metro Center. They cut the building power at about 1:00 PM. Since then, we've been running off the Thomson generator on the roof. Unfortuantely, only the Thomson offices have power. When I leave, I will have to walk down the fire stairs; the HVAC has been off for three hours and the temperature in the hallway is 84 degrees. It is noticably warmer in here, perhaps 88-90. The sun is conveniently on this side of the building, too.
(Stamford-AP, Aug. 2, 2006 2:42 PM) Two electrical circuits in Stamford failed today due to excessive heat. Connecticut Light and Power took some customers -- including the University of Connecticut campus in Stamford and Metro Center -- off-line. Mitch Gross, a spokesman for the utility, says CL&P acted to avoid a much larger problem. Customers were urged to immediately conserve energy.

Supposedly, the trains are still running. I hope so, because I can't take too much more of this.
