There is a massive power outage in Miami right now and as I am looking at the tube, traffic is backed up and cnn is talking about a Nuclear Power plant being shut down.

People in Downtown Miami are leaving their businesses and buildings and walking out into the streets.

Anyone in Florida know whats going on? Why such a massive power outage?
