shed

The reason is that a flat surface doesn’t shed water quickly.

They are the ones who long ago shed their pride, who can tell you frankly how lonely and sad they are, who can face their self-hatred and accept their regrets.

I ran my discharge line up to well above the roof of my shed, and my pump is still able to get the water up there.

But before grid operators could shed enough load from the system, the frequency of the alternating current dropped as the remaining generators were bogged down, falling below 59.4 hertz for over 4 minutes.

As it evolves it will probably shed even more mass, and shrink into another, hotter hypergiant phase Accumulate heavy elements in its core before finally exploding in a core collapse supernova, giving its gas back to the galaxy.

If electricity demand on the grid gets so high that it can’t be met by the utility, substations may also be used to shed load.

If a few more large power plants tripped offline or too few customers were shed from the system in time, it’s likely that the frequency would have continued to drop until every single generator on the grid was disconnected.
