Power Outage We were affected by this massive North Eastern seaboard power outage. According to the UPS power failed at 4:10pm eastern time yesterday. Rumors were definitely flying in no time. Canada is blaming the US and the US is blaming Canada. I've heard a hydro station in NY was on fire (apparently not true). The Canadians saying a station in Niagara falls was hit by lightning (unconfirmed and denied I think by the US). The only thing I do know is that 16 hours later they haven't been able to say for sure is why a massive part of the power grid shutdown. Yet, they say that it is not terrorism. Well, if one doesn't know why it went down how can you rule out anything? Should be interesting to see what comes out of all this if we ever find out. For the first time in as far as I can remember I do not have a single buddy online in ICQ, Yahoo or MSN.   8:31:58 AM
