Last night, many Waukesha residents were left in the dark after a substation failure caused a blackout for nearly 6400 people- including the entire downtown Waukesha business district.
While WE Energies has released a formal statement sighting the cause of the blackout as a “bulk substation outage”, it still leaves an element of mystery to the whole event.
What exactly is a “bulk substation outage”?
I smell a cover up…
Recent reports may or may not state something far more involved.
It seems that last night’s missile launch may have had something to do with it.
A Navy spokesperson, speaking on the condition of anonymity, has just released a statement regarding a different reason for the outage.
“It gets confusing sometimes” the naval officer said, “all those launch buttons are so close to each other. It was late, I was tired, my girlfriend kept texting me, and I made a simple mistake. The ‘space station’ button is right next to the ‘sub station’ button on the missile launch panel. Could’a happened to anybody.”
So around 8:50PM last night, the missile intended for the distressed spy satellite circling our earth’s atmosphere was misfired and directed toward a Waukesha sub station.
It was a direct hit, and the result was a 2-hour long power outage.
While crews are still working to put the pieces back together, power is being directed from the power grid to supplement the customers in Waukesha and Pewaukee, who could have frozen to death in their homes last night.
Someone who could have been a spokesperson for WE Energies may have stated that power is being taken from a small town just west of Barstow, California.
“They won't miss having power out there- half of those folks don't have indoor plumbling” he said.
The Mayor of that small town was not available for comment.
The Navy, however, was relieved when the second missile they fired hit the intended target and destroyed the spy satellite.
“We just hope it was the right spy satellite”, says the Navy. “So far the phone hasn’t rang, so we must be in the clear.”
More on that later.
I have included some photos of the blackout for your review. The first one was taken from our front door looking east down Main Street.
The second was taken looking west down Main.
Hope you enjoy them.
