OT: Ann Arbor Power Outage
Those of us who work downtown were rudely interrupted (or relieved) by power outages today: https://www.michigandaily.com/news/news-briefs/power-outage-on-state-st-shuts-down-businesses-traffic-lights-for-next-several-hours/
Any DTE MGoBloggers know what’s going on? Most of downtown has now been without power for a few hours.

Odd, I am experiencing my first extended power outage in 15 years in central Texas. Coincidence? I think not!
February 1st, 2023 at 8:12 PM ^
On the bright side, it sounds like you were lucky enough to avoid the massive (and tragic) sub zero outage down there a couple years ago.

over on the southwest side of town, luckily i just had a <1sec blip that made my internet connection reset, but i was back up and running

Maybe it is because Ann Arbor was seized in the CFB Risk game last night. Or it could be an advanced maneuver for today's game trying to knock out participants.

If they're targeting infrastructure I'd hate to think roads are next
February 1st, 2023 at 5:50 PM ^
can you make Michigan roads worse?
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:07 AM ^
Yeah. They could be in Ukraine.
So many first world problems to complain about.
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:16 AM ^
I travel in NY regularly, yes, they can be much worse. They should pass out mouth guards at the DMV.

Paging LSA2001 for DTE insider info. About to go home to the Old West Side and hope my hardly insulated home isn’t chilly.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:21 PM ^
LSA checked in with a critical update about an hour ago.

Hamster died

They destroyed the Fleming Building. It’s harder now for the President to get to the Cube and spin it for our daily electricity supply.

Warde!!!
February 1st, 2023 at 5:51 PM ^
I'm going to start a petition that everything negative that happens related to Michigan sports be attributed to Warde.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:03 PM ^
Start??? That petition was approved weeks ago.
February 1st, 2023 at 5:32 PM ^
It's Harbaugh's fault. Or Manuel's.
February 1st, 2023 at 5:50 PM ^
Interference from C/2022 E3 (ZTF), obviously. Don’t forget to get your telescopes or binoculars out tonight kids:)
February 1st, 2023 at 6:04 PM ^
TX has the ice storm, so I can see why they lost power. Not sure why AA lost power?
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:08 AM ^
Simple: DTE

Nothing from LSA. it must be real, they have him out overseeing the work.
February 1st, 2023 at 7:29 PM ^
Dave Brandon is back!
February 1st, 2023 at 7:40 PM ^
Yes it was awesome. I do maintenance on five Main St properties. Spent the whole afternoon running around turning off security alarms and assuring tenants that it wasn't our fault.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:15 PM ^
I lived in AA during the massive power outage of 2003. That was a wild night. They don't call it a blackout for nothin'.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:33 PM ^
Is this related to OSU taking Ann Arbor in college football risk?
February 1st, 2023 at 10:16 PM ^
For those interested in the post mortem, we lost an entire circuit for a while. Everything, I believe, is in order now.
February 2nd, 2023 at 6:37 AM ^
Too many electric cars plugged in?
February 2nd, 2023 at 8:29 AM ^
those heathens from ohio attacked the power grid
