Tonight was the big night, the night that all three candidates running for the vacancy of ARRL South Texas Section Manager would speak in person before the San Antonio Radio Club during their regular monthly membership meeting.
Amazingly enough, all three candidates showed up on time and spoke, along with current SM Ray Taylor N5RAV who is “retiring” from that position (with no pension provided), and SEC Mike Schwartz, KG5TL.
This was from a ham out of the Houston, TX area. Every area is having record power being drawn from their grids due to the 100+ degree temps. – Lee N5NTG
I heard on the radio this morning that we set a record in Texas yesterday. The record was we taxed our electrical grid to its highest point ever.
They continued to say that between the hours of 3pm and 7pm was the peak time and we should cut back a little. 
Try not to use large appliances between 3pm and 7pm and don’t turn your air down to 72 when it’s 100+ outside. It won’t get there.
So to make this amateur related, turn off the amps. 🙂

And I got this link off the Bexar County ARES list, linked to the Public Utilities Commission.
