Since Billytea is presumably sleeping right now, I feel compelled to step up and point out that there are 16 species of penguin.
Seventeen. (Emperor, king, gentoo, adelie, African, Magellanic, Humboldt's, Galapagos, rockhopper, macaroni, royal, snares, chinstrap, little, yellow-eyed, fiordland, erect-crested.)

Holy crap, I just saw video of the explosion shown in the photo. Damn. This is seriously scary looking!
Shit, guys, a tree just fell on my stepson's folks' house in Allentown, PA and they've got a live power-line situation too.
DO NOT WANT.
Yikes, Strix! Much ~ma to them.
Holy shit. Rio just posted this.
ComEd explosion takes out power grid.
Explosion at about 3 minutes in.
My friend in PA (Bryn Mawr) just posted that there is a large transformer fire burning near them.

Seems to be calming a bit, but I dunno. Clearly, still have power. But then, during Irene, it went out at 7 am under sunny skies.
lisah, may you have twinnage fun!
Oh, my god, that explosion was INSANE. Jesus.
Gad, the Wind Map is freakin' mesmerizing right now. It looks like a Van Gogh. The eye is right over NJ. Must be getting creamed.
