Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Here in Atlanta, we are fortunate to be the home to many awesome things. Coca Cola. Chick Fil A. The Braves. And also, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Well, last Friday, there was a power outage there which lasted for about an hour:

A laboratory building that contains a deadly strain of avian flu and other germs is among four that lost power for more than an hour Friday when a backup generator system failed again at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The outage affected air flow systems in labs that help contain such germs as the H5N1 flu virus, which some experts fear could cause a pandemic.

Maybe it’s just me, but I hope they get that dang generator fixed!

I’d hate to live next door to this place. I am sure there is a “dead zone” near there…isn’t there?

I sure hope there isn’t a dead zone! Then again, I live around 20 miles away, but still!
