I just had a UPS test

[freeradical]

Out of the blue, I lost power for 10 minutes. Clear blue skies, and no wind.

Just POOF.

Thanks SMUD...

An even bigger thanks to APC...

Maybe it was the rain that went through yesterday---delayed effect.

Precursor to rolling blackouts in mild weather?

All stayed fine here in Rancho Cordova.

If you didn't do good on the UPS Test, try Fed-Ex.:-)

Had my own "test" last night. Thunderstorms went through on Wednesday evening, but never lost power for more than 30-45 seconds. But a tree crew working up the street without a crew from the electric company managed to take out the line on our portion of the street about 6:30 yesterday evening. Annoying was that if I was one house farther down, I would still have had power from the other cross street. Finally got power back around 11:30.

.....thought this thread would be about the fantasy of having your s.o. dress up in the UPS brown shirt....brown shorts...delivering a large package..........
