Earlier today, all of Jacksonville, FL was without power.

Just a few minutes ago, they scrolled the emergency thingy across the bottom of the screen saying how much progress they have done restoring the power. During it though, this scrolled across

Now if they dont have power, how the hell are they supposed to see that? :)

That message is geared towards the 1337 who have their own generators powering their GrandWEGAs and hot tubs so it's only stupid to you (and the rest of us) :)
