It's blacked out from New York to Ottawa. That entire region gets its power from Quebec Hydro I beleive. So if you are going to blame someone for this, blame those seperatist french Canadians. Damn frogs.

I know the problem is in New York, but the same problem continues up through New York, into Canada, and hits Ottawa. And most of the east coast, at least New York and New England, get their power from Quebec Hydro, which is located on the Canadian side of the St. Lawernce River.

You could be right, I was just going by what I heard on the radio. Well, I'm just out here in butt fuck Alberta, so it does'nt affect me directly.

Did'nt notice you were from Quebec either, until now. So ya, I'll take your word for it.

U.S. and Canada are both pointing fingers at each other for the cause. They each say it was a plant on the other's side.

We were without power here for 12 hours (felt like about 60). We just got it back, but still have no water. I'm not sure if I have to go to work today. All traffic lights are down.

It's funny cuz the mayor of Cleveland imposed a dusk till dawn curfew for those under 18, yet the real threat at night is by people over 18. Blackout = More crime.

I wondered how long it would take for this to turn in to a U.S vs. Canada thread.


Now I know.

But if they'd had a backup plan there wouldn't be all this amusing fingerpointing, now would there? Of course not! And really, what's a few hours without power compared to days of amusement on the news?

Not having any traffic lights was a bitch coming home from work yesterday. We saved the ice cream and the beer at home though ! And I grabbed the 12 string for entertainment. The power came back on about 11:30 or so. I remember hearing the fan come back on. And I'm in NE Ohio in ,as Wally calls it, Assfuck , Ohio.

my power was out for over 24 hours
and now they're doing rotating blackouts to try to restore all the power, some sections in toronto still dont have power
i was fine without electricity, i could go without A/C, TV, computer, and all that good shit, but most of the food in the fridge went bad

earlier they were saying that they thought it was caused by a lightening strike on the power plant on the US side of Niagara Falls, now they're saying that they're 90% sure something happened in ohio
