Could it happen again?

New Yorkers broke the record for total electricity used, yesterday. We ended up using 12,361 megawatt hours - topping the previous mark of 12,207 megawatts set August 9, 2001.

That's: 298170940387679700000 Atomic mass units, 42205708555.49589 Btu (thermal), 10628546861564.912 Calories, and 44499599999999.96 Joules.

We also seem to have had a few outages last night, and we're not even into the hottest month yet: August. Which brings to mind the blackout we had two years back(I think it was two years ago). Dare I say that we may just have a repeat this year? I do! So, watch the news closely. You may hear that NY and the upper north-east of the country blew a fuse, again.
