IN THE DARK
Any way, the next question: what REALLY caused it? I say the government diverted power for a secret experiment... I mean it just seems so fixed, the way it just perchance went down fifteen minutes AFTER the market closed...
Hey, the great thing is that I have a really fast internet connection, with so many people still out in the dark!!!
Areas affected:
NEW YORK:
Much of New York state was without power, including New York City. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it was likely the blackout started in the Niagara Falls area and quickly spread. Across Manhattan, people poured out of skyscrapers and started trudging home on foot. Traffic lights were out, and subways and buses stopped. New York's three major airports were without power.
NEW JERSEY:
Much of northern New Jersey was affected. Train service was canceled and the state emergency management office was activated. There were no reported power problems in the eight southern New Jersey counties covered by Conectiv, the company said.
OHIO
Power was out across a wide stretch of northern Ohio, from Toledo to Cleveland. Other cities reporting power outages included Akron, Elyria, Mansfield, Sandusky and Tiffin .FirstEnergy spokesman Matt Slagle said the company was getting reports of outages from customers throughout its coverage area in northeast Ohio. The company has 700,000 customers.
MICHIGAN:
Power was out from Detroit to the state capital in Lansing. Detroit Metropolitan Airport remained open with some delays. The outage, closed the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel between the United States and Canada.
CONNECTICUT:
Power flickered across Connecticut and some areas of the state lost electric service completely. Northeast Utilities said nearly 58,000 customers were without power. Fairfield County and Connecticut shoreline towns appeared to be the hardest-hit.
PENNSYLVANIA:
The northwestern corner of the state was without power. Power went out to much or all of Erie, Forest and Venango counties, according to emergency management officials.
VERMONT:
A handful of northern Vermont towns were hit. A portion of the Northeast Kingdom near Sheldon lost power for about an hour, according to the Central Vermont Public Service, which covers about three-fourths of the state. Some customers in Franklin County including in Highgate and Swanton also lost power briefly.
CANADA:
Blackouts were reported in Toronto, in Ottawa in the province's eastern region, Windsor in the west and North Bay in the northern part of Ontario. The blackout had not spread as far as Thunder Bay in northwestern Ontario, suggesting power in the north was sporadic
NEW YORK:

Sometimes, it's good living in a state where the only emergencies are snowstorms and priests. The few times a year when the power does go out, we still have my great-grandparetns' kerosene lanterns.
lol I thought it was veryy funny...I watched BBC and when they ask the NY mayor who caused it...he answers "the canadians"...how predictable...but funny enough, I only found out about it sat night..but then it would have been sat afternoon there so not too long...it seems that evry single family member was hit: fairfield county, conn..bronx and poughkeepsie NY, my NJ family, toronto, Canada, cleveland ohio...but then here its been blissful weather and no problems 😛

On the news here it was said that the official offices were inundated with calls from ppl claiming to have seen so many UFO's. Turns out that what they saw was stars. Apparently alot of ppl who lived in New York have never seen stars before.
Was it any wonder that this kind of thing could happen? I mean they have most of the east side (including parts of Canada) all on one grid.
