they're worried about energy consumption out here as well...yesterday it was

104F over in fairfield....

 

 

Ontario breaks power consumption record, heat wave likely to last

for weeks

Last Updated Wed, 13 Jul 2005 22:26:44 EDT

CBC News

Ontario broke its record for single-day electricity consumption on

Wednesday when it peaked at 26,160 megawatts, topping its previous

high of 26,157 megawatts set on June 27.

 

 

INDEPTH: Heat waves and how to protect yourself

 

 

 

Regulators say the system can handle the load and that there is

still the option to import power from the U.S., and maintain a

safety margin. But they are concerned that electricity usage tends

to increase day-by-day as heat waves continue.

 

There was a localized blackout for half an hour in downtown Toronto

when a Hydro One cooling pump failed, knocking out a good deal of

power to Toronto Hydro.

 

Officials also extended an extreme heat alert for the third straight

day on Wednesday. Temperatures were expected to reach 35 C and feel

like 41 with the humidity factored in.

 

It was the 17th heat alert of the summer for the city, which was

also labouring under a smog advisory.

 

The regional coroner's office for Toronto East confirmed that a

fourth person has died of causes directly related to this summer's

high temperatures.

 

The heat is creating other problems too: causing transformers to

overheat, which in turn knocks out power to local neighbourhoods,

usually for only 30-45 minutes at a time.

 

Power failures were reported in Midland, Brockville, as well as

parts of Toronto overnight.

 

The heat wave is leading to other measures as well.

 

The province is imposing a restricted fire zone across most of

northeastern Ontario. All open burning, including campfires, is

being banned from Marathon east to the Quebec border and from

Manitoulin Island to Hearst.

 

The ban takes effect at midnight.

 

In several Southern Ontario municipalities, authorities have

instituted outdoor water use bans and farmers are worried about

their crops.

 

" In order to have any significant recovery, we would need two to

three inches of rain in the next week, " said soya bean farmer Lloyd

Weber. " If we don't get it, I would say we would be lucky to get a

50 per cent yield, in fact, less than that. "

 

The forecast is calling for rain sometime by the weekend, but

probably not enough to solve the region's agriculture problems.

Environment Canada says the hot weather will continue until the end

of July.

 

" In the next few weeks, we're looking at a few nights when even the

nighttime lows may only be in the 23 or 24 degree Celsius range, "

said meteorologist Geoff Coulson.

 

 

" God was my co-pilot, but we crashed in the Andes and I had to eat him. "

Well, see what happens when you live in the wrong part of the state <g> Up

here in it is inthe 90s and no humidity, cool evening breezes, no traffic,

reasonable prices. Wait, forget I said that. If I start letting folks know

how nice it is those nuts from LaLa Land might start moving up here and

pricing us poor common folks out!

Fraggle, Fraggle, Fraggle. Shame on you for sleeping through geography in

school.

 

Berkeley, 122.2710 on ye ol' longitude

Hayfork, 123.18

 

That would make me north west of you. Definately not in the " the " valley

and at 3,000' feet in the Trinity Alps which are part of the Cascade Range,

definately not valley and way west of the Sierras.

 

Me think perhaps one has forgotten that the north, north part of CA takes a

jut out into the Pacific (Cape Mendocino, the point furthest to the west in

CA, is at 124.243).

 

Now, I can never remember the formula for land miles vs. nautical miles and

the whole how to convert formula, but give or take a guess or two, that

would make me 50 or 60 miles west of you <<eg>>

 

Wait just one darn minute here, that would mean YOU are in the valley %-pppp
