So in a way you are saying "Due to the sudden increase in entropy surrounding hurricane Irma and the arrow of time (nature tends toward an increase in entropy), Florida's new power grid became old really fast." Just checking to see how my new model fits, seems OK so far. Or another way

There has already been an interesting article published about the Florida power company problems. This article says there is widespread damage despite the fact that Florida Power & Light has one of the most storm-resistant and modern grids:

Exactly why I am saying we are missing the true source of energy of that storm, not just air and water vapor, hot and cold. Lots of energy in the vacuum to pull from A better model is a vacuum manifold that is losing symmetry as it decays to a new, lower vacuum state and reading that energy into

From: ChemE Stewart We can build nuclear bombs but can't keep the lights on when a storm moves through. -- Yeah… but to put that failure into perspective, mother-nature builds her own bombs and blasted us with a preemptive strike. Irma had the power of a 60

It makes sense that in the near future, the electronics for all plug-ins and hybrids be redesigned to work both ways seamlessly – to power the house if needed using the same cable that provides battery charge. This makes the most sense with fuel cells and Honda already has a product for this in
