I could see the grocery stores moving if they didn't disconnect their main feed when they went on generator power. I could even see some residual movement from "stored" power (capacitance). But in the end...no EMF = no movement. There has to be potential (voltage) in order for there to be power (Ohm's Law). There's no way around it.Nope. People up and down the streets were telling anyone passing by (cause no one had anything going on anyway without tricity). I made an afternoon of it because there were so many. They wanted everyone to walk on their property to see the meter for themselves. It was like a street carnival and they were the carnies (sp). I know I didn't believe it at first.
I know there were some reporters that heard about it and interviewed people, but I NEVER saw or heard anything about it. Not even when people got their bill and flipped seeing how much the bill was. The power was off in our hood for almost 2 weeks. Some places, even longer. Not a single media report of it.
As a matter of fact, the only grocery store that was smart enough to get a generator before the mad rush, showed us their meters running too. The manager said that they have a bit of emergency power, but the meters were running as if it was under normal power supply.
I'll never forget those two weeks even though my gf and I were in an alcohol daze the whole time. Nothing else to do.:dunno:
