The night the lights went out in Turkey Creek

Submitted by smalc on Tue, 2007/08/07 - 1:05pm.

We were at the Target in Turkey Creek last night, right in the middle of checking out with a cart load of groceries, when the power went out. Luckily the generators (or batteries?) kicked in fast so that our register did not reboot. A few others did. All of Turkey Creek was blacked out. A few of the major traffic lights stayed on, others did not.

Seems like they are having more problems today.

Plus TVA has set a new record for power demand.
