Tonya again:

Very good points (although you sort of popped my bubble).  If the 
floo network is overloaded then there would be "floo waiting", I bet 
they have better hold music then most RW businesses.  I wonder if 
solar flares would affect magic usage at all??  That would be 
interesting if the WW had a magic outage.  What would happen??  What 
could cause that??  I cannot think of any references that could lead 
us to that ever happening.
