Actually a silo is a tall hollow tower used to store grain. In a silo overflow the machinery that fills the silo with grain has failed to notice that the tower is full allowing grain to overflow. This is only dangerous when the access doors are closed and locked which causes a backup into the filling machine. A silo is also a store which sells home electronics at a discount. The problem with a silo overflow in this case is when there are too many silos in operation in a single area causing a lose of discount offerings because the competition has been eliminated by the excess silos.
