I am no polly, but I think that I have an answer for you. Here in LA, CBS 2 reported that in Seattle a topless lady climbed a transmission tower and blew fire from her mouth. Apparently, she was using Vodka for the fire. According to the report, power had to be shut down for approximately 5000 people in the Seattle area. The lady was brought down and taken into custody. Boy, and I thought people here were crazy!!!=)

Our local TV weather radar is down. Our office network was taken down this morning also, for no specified reason.

I suspect a lot of testing is going on, but quietly.
