At our company this morning, one of the Centerpoint Energy guru's were here, to explain the situation, and I thought I would share with all of you a recap:
1 - The State of Texas mandated rolling black-outs in an effort to prevent a state wide blackout.
2 - 2 of the power stations almost went down due to over use (not sure how you can "almost go down", but ...)
3 - The rolling black-outs are expected to continue through Friday
4 - The rolling black-outs are down by a computer program, which looks at usage and just decides that this "grid" is the next to go down and for how long.
5 - The same grid can get it over and over (example, our company went down this morning at 0545, up at 0630 and down at 0800, up at 0840

I hope this info helps those of you who are wondering what is going on and how long it will last.
Will there be other power outages, not associated with the rolling black-outs? not sure, he didn't speak of that, but if your power is out longer than 45 minutes or an hour, I would start calling your power company to see if it is rolling black-out related, or other.

Good Luck, be safe
