NERC (nerc.com) North American Electric Reliability Council has a hidden report that states at "14:06 Chamberlain - Harding 345 Kv line tripped -- cause not reported". This was the first sign of failure. NE US and Canada did not report significant outages prior to 15:11.
Another point to look at is at "15:17 - 15:21 Numerous lines in Michigan tripped" Cheers, Geoff Shively, CHO PivX Solutions, LLC http://www.pivx.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard M.
