But you're not New York.

YAY we are gonna have 2 days of non-stop talk about the damned thing like the NASA incident and 9/11

Current word is that lightning hit the Niagra power facility causing an electron cascade knocking out power across several power grids. They insist it's not an act of terrorism. I have heard no reports of looting or fighting, nor fires. I walked outside in Ridgeood, NJ and thought someone had set off an EMP, it was spooky :-/

My first thought was an EMP blast too, then I realized how much mass media actually affects me. I gotta lay off of movies.

1- They aren't standing around. Some have no clue how to get home without subway system, the others know how but have to walk since subways are out.

2- Strygun what's your source? I've heard every that there was no looting or fires in NYC(well reported yet).

3-As of now they do not think it's a terrorist attack, for unknown reasons there was a power failure in a southern canada or new york system that caused a cascade effect and shut down the entire grid. Currently they are restarting the system bit by bit as it is a slow and complex procedure and "with a lot of luck power will be back up tonight".

yeah, I posted this a little after it all started.. from what I heard, there was a fire at con ed (which there wasn't, then there was, then there wasn't..whatever) and the fighting was the people that got the CNN lady off the phone in the middle of her reporting.

the looting was from FOX or something..

Fox news lies so don't trust them. Heh, anyway, I only had the radio.

At approxomately 1:35 AM power has come back across all of Staten Island.

With the ABC news program I was listening to on my portable radio all night, I'm honestly surprised there haven't been any suicide reports. What with the whole gloom and doom, "dress rehearsal for the end of the Republic" as they put it.

Not that they dont bring up some valid points. If one random weather event can knock out power for an estimated 50 million people, imagine what a real, calculated terrorist strike could do.
