About an hour ago I heard that the cause was lighting striking one of the main plants in New York.

Oddly enough, I'm in farming country - Listowel Ontario, and we were one of the firsts to receive power again - we were only out of power for an hour! [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] Odd that farming country 3 hours from Toronto gets serviced first.

Crazy though, that that many people can be effected by on lighting strike.

I was watching UPN tonight and they stated that the power had been out for a long time in Toronto, Ottawa and Ontario. When did Toronto and Ottawa defect from Ontario?

Funny I've been told our power was out maybe 10 minutes (I'm in the niagara region)...people are nuts though, a couple hours ago gas stations and McDonalds were just PACKED...probably because our power never really went out...funny though some parts are still out and across the street it's all on [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

They say lightning may have struck the power plant in Niagara? That's bunk because there hasn't been a cloud in the sky all day...my brother works in Niagara Falls, their power never went out and he never heard any thunder of any sort,

I dunno it's just totally wack. [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

Oh well...so we had a blackout...everything is back to normal again.
