    Is the power output down as well? Whats the cross street?

    Lincoln place in *Prospect Heights* only has two cross streets and the car is between Washington and Underhill.

    The UPS for my computer keeps beeping ~~~

    Perhaps Manhole cover blew through the car?

    There were a lot of manhole fire today as a result of the water and the salt.

    I count at least 5:

    Yea, a number of explosions last night.  The power went down (not off, but flickering) for a few minutes and then the manhole blew closer to Washington.  Same thing happened on the block a couple times last winter but this one was more severe than those with a lot more black smoke pouring out of the street. Power was funky with lights flickering along the whole block for a few hours.
