It has been suggested, given the demands for electricity around the country, and the outages that are occuring for various reasons (St Louis and NYC being the two most obvious, although neither were due directly to demand apparently), that we get all the information together in a single thread. (It also might help those of us planning to go somewhere if we know that there won't be power when we get there). So, gentle folk, can we collect the stories here ?

UPDATE: 10:18 pm EST Courtesy of step back the California ISO is predicting a peak demand tomorrow of 52,336 megawatts, which is higher than Friday’s record 49,036 megawatts, as cyclelicious tells us. And as our Alpha Male just noted, Santa Rosa just had a power loss. (From comments brought forward).
