We're crossing our fingers
A serious automobile accident on Hill Street has knocked out power across downtown Greensboro. Our prayers go out to those involved in the accident.
Meanwhile, it's tough to get out a paper without power. Right now, we're planning to collapse our three editions into one, assuming the power comes back soon. Fortunately, there aren't any big-time government activities, Major League Baseball is on its All-Star hiatus, the Hoppers played this afternoon, and high school and college sports are on summer break.
Duke Power has given us various times to expect the power to come back up. Then it takes a while for our computer systems to power up. This is nail-biting time. And the rumors that the heat from the red on the new site sucked all the power out of downtown are unfounded.
Update: It's 10:15 p.m. and the computer system is back online. Four hours and change without access to our publishing system in primetime cramps our style. But we'll git 'er done.

Some of us will pump up our blog coverage too, to compensate for stuff that was normally in the paper. Case in point: http://blog.news-record.com/staff/capblog/ " target="_blank">here.
