I"m linking this in not for the story, but for the numbers:
Cause of widespread Wyoming power outage remains unclear
Why can't the electrical power industry tell the truth on the numbers of people who lose power in these events?
I've long suspected them of fibbing, but this is the first story that gets it about right. Even now the official report is 55,000 people lost power.
Oh bull, it was way more than that.
This story states it was about 100,000. I'm guessing it was likely double given all the areas that were out. It has to be, given that it included all of Natrona County, a big swatch northwest of that, and all the way into Rapid City, which as at least 80,000 residents.
