SYSOPS:

Why was the following thread deleted:

Question re: Power spikes and flucuations

It gave info on a person who checks his power at home regularly with a meter and since Jan has noticed that it has been fluctuating a lot, and before it was very smooth.

I had posted a set of links (to the thread about where all the water came from, to the thread about the city with the blackout today, to the town with the spike today) that showed evidence that something was amiss with power, and others were also posting similar evidence (not opinion) (one post about O'Hare having a spike then going onto their own new generators and since then have not been on the grid).

Why was this thread then just deleted?

Sorry, we had a troll attack that lasted about three hours and scores of troll posts were deleted. As sysops became tired, it is very possible that a thread delete, rather than an individual post delete, was hit. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Quick, somebody retrieve that thread from their browser cache and repost it.
