Of course after I hear about this, so many people associate this to terrorism.
It sucks for the people who are stuck in subways and elevators, though.

Yeah and those who have electric powered health support stuff. They could die.

I'm sure hospitals have generators giving them power, anyone on oxygen machines can use O2 tanks for several hours.

If it lasts more than 24 hours, then you're looking at panic time.

Also, be on the look out for Son of Son of Sam.

Geez, I'm really going to hell.

I'm right on the "fringe". Nothing gets past Kalamazoo!

The power went out here for like 1 minute about 30 minutes before the big blackout happened. I don't know why though. Oh and I live right near Philadelphia.

Nothing happened here in California... And I hope nothing does happen.

I know hospitals got back-up power, but some folk have at their own respirators or something like that at home.

It was great last night when they were showing helicopter shots of NYC in the dark.

All the hosptials are online, however, many are complaining that the backup generators are running out of fuel. Right now I just want my dad to get home. He's stuck in NY, I guess. He never made it home last night because even if he could have walked into NJ, we live majorly too far to get home without the trains running.
ohwell...
