Kauai (in hawaii) got knocked offline in a hurricane, what I heard was that their sole turbine went down, and the diesel they used to start it wouldn't go, so they had to call in a navy nuke sub to "jump start" the island. That's really hilarious in that Kauai was pretty much the center of hawaii's anti-nuke community. :) -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
