I don't know aqbout that but what I know for a fact is that the magnetic storm causing the Northern Lights is being blame for a province wide power failiure that lasted around 7 to 8 hours. Apparently the change in magnetic fields induces curents in the transmission lines making the voltage fluctuate from 736 KV to 700 KV to 800 KV and resulted in equipement failiures. They are pretty but they are trouble! _____________________________________________________________________ Patrice Scattolin.
