Outages in random towns. I heard a mammoth tumble weed caused the line to trip. Wyoming grows world class giant Tumbleweeds and they can bunch up to make trouble, but the power company has not said exactly what happened. Was the trip from solar flares? William Shatner will find out.

I don't know much, but the graphs are nearly pegged out on the 12th with a flare, and the 13th with a CME (coronal mass ejection)
