Mod you can delete this if you want.

But I'd like to send a message of sympathy to all Easterners who can't have fun on the boards today like we do here out West...

Hope your power comes back soon!!!

My sympathy to all the affected east coasters, too. I hope everyone who's out in that mess gets home safely!! I'm feeling so fortunate ... I'm in Philly, and the outage bypassed us.

Oy! On laptop battery power here in NYC (an hour's worth?). And candle power. It's really hot, had to walk home, people are stuck in the subway and in elevators.

Luckily I was visiting a client at the time, was only stuck on the 6th floor, otherwise it would have been the 25th.

So glad you're home safely, OI - hope you get your power back immediately. Remember to sit in a tub of cold water if it gets too hot.

lol
I think power is out all over. And this laptop battery is definitely not an hour!!! rats!

It's going out ....

I have nothing to do but drink rapidly warming beer, listen to the radio, and sweat.

I am strangely prepared, with candles, batteries, and a fridge full of yesterday's Italian delivery .... lol

I think I'm out now. Later.

I'm actually at 50 percent, but I'm powering down and will tune in later.... addicted I guess.

OI, I am prepared with storage jiggers of scotch and soda. If it does happen, I'm sure I'll be every bit as uncomfortable, but I will not realize it.

All I can say is this "special coverage" better not pre-empt Queer Eye for the Straight Guy on NBC tonight. :)

NBC is out (here at least) but not CBS so we should still have Survivor tonight.
The province of Québec still has power .We are interconnected but not synchronized with the rest of the Eastern grid.

I apologise Ocean..HIS...I've known that for the past two years! I was typin' fast and pulled a Jack! Sorry!

Also too late to edit previous post..went to get the mail inbetween lightning strikes!

Dan.. all Toronto is without power as well, and I think Ottawa as well... oh my buddies there... will have to call them... ooops, I guess only on their cell phones...

Looks like it was a lightning bolt hitting around Niagara Falls... blew up a big transformer there....

Sorry guys!

Sorry I said Survivor at 08:00, I meant Amazing Race of course.

You all aren't getting rid of us that easily! Some of us die hard fans still mangaged to cling to our power and our internet! LOL.

Here (Monréal), we are being told the outage did not originated from a lightning stike on NY side of the Niagara Falls grid as previously reported but rather that it was caused by a fire in a Manhatan power plan.
