We had oneas well, the electric company was out in front of the neighborhood peeling a bird off the pole who managed to touch two wires and well, explode.  I would be shocked that a single short caused a glitch that spread city wide.  Wait, no I wouldn't, these are Co-Op lines..

We had nothing more than a flash here in my part of TF...wouldnt call it a black out, maybe Brown LOL Didnt even stop the fish tanks. Could it be the heat and more usage causing stress on the system over there.

No problems at my house in West Crossing, but then again, I'm not with GCEC--I use Commerce energy.

No, I have TXU lines; I'm not on the GCEC grid.  Are you saying they're responsible for my line maintenence?  TXU tells me that TXU is.
