... I have a high current probe that only goes down to 100 mA, maybe I can power a whole building with the current probe and see the total amps per building.  I will try it by the weekend and post my findings.

Is this a clamp-on/clip-on open-jaw current probe?  If so, loop the wire thru the donut to increase sensitivity.  For example, 10 loops of wire increases the measured current by 10x so now the probe goes down to 10 mA in the last digit...and obviously mentally move the decimal point so to speak.
