Why do they report power outages on TV? This is like calling your internet provider because your link is down and listening to their recording about checking them out on line.

No kidding. My power company gives you a web address to check for updates on restoration of services since they don't want to be bothered with phone calls. I don't know about you all but my PC, internet receiver and modem doesn't work terribly well without electricity. And if I have an alternative source of power (generator, which I do have) so I can check on line, I'm not that overly concerned with the exact time frame.

Those are great points to ponder! I've wondered about the phonetics spelling for a really long time, to me that is one of the most ironic things around.
