mutley29 January 30, 2008 Share January 30, 2008 The lights flickered just after 6pm in Manassas City, but i think it hit this side of PW County and some of Fauqiuer. all of the Bus 234 was at a standstill. All was ok with me, hope no-one suffered any losses. How long was it out for? Anton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottloverr January 31, 2008 Share January 31, 2008 (edited) My power went out this morning (in Woodbridge) for almost 2 hours. My tiny UPS had 20% left on it. I was a nervous wreck. Cheers, Sean Edited January 31, 2008 by rottloverr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... frag tank and 58 as well - better make that $3000. Not to mention the MESS you have to clean up when everything dies in there. I'll be dropping by to take a look. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
