Important FYI
Message:
Hi all,
Just talked with my brother who is an excutive with Northeast Utilies.
This is about the Solar Flare that is to hit earth between 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM.
As per my brother -> All US electric utilities are on high alert due to the possibility of electric grid knock-outs.
Also he indicated to me, as a safety measure, to turn off every possible electronic unit (TV, Computer, etc.) in the house till daylight. (ie; make sure no little red lights are showing -> shut units down cold) -> before midnight tonight.
Just thought you should be aware!

Thanks, didnt even hear about that at all. Luckily we have a special whole house surge protector designed for stuff like this that was installed a few years ago. Its also supposed to redirect some unused energy and saves us about $30 a month typically and about $45 in the summer when the ac units are all on.

Hi ff,
PM me about that whole house surge protector you have installed.
Wouldn't mind saving a few $$ on my electric bill.
