Power outage all over the Northeast and even Canada.
I guess we won't be hearing from Wedge or any of those other people on the East Coast for a while, heh. |

I'm from Bristol,which is east of Cleveland and I still got power.Guess i'm just lucky.But much of Ohio is without power including Cleveland,Dayton,and Akron which is south of me.It's kinda wierd.

We lost power around 5:00 and got it back around 11:30. We had the candles lit and everything.

Well people knew what was the drill from the 9/11 attacks so it's not that big of a deal.

I thought it was a terrorist attack when I first turned on the radio and heard, "Rolling blackouts througout the Northeast..." and then they said, "...But please be aware this is NOT a terrorist attack. I repeat this is NOT a terrorist attack." My next reaction was, So what the heck happened?

I lost my power at 4:11pm and regained my power at 7:13am, it was a pain. I was at the beach and I didn't even realize that the power had gone out until 6pm. My friend got traped in the subway in china town, manhattan for 2.5 hours and my dad slept in his office in manhattan. This will definatly be a memorable experence for me.

Ok... You guys obviously know nothing about power outages. Try losing power for several weeks because of ice. That will wake you up.

Try not having power for months because a certain superpower decided to bomb your country. (I'm pro-Bush by the way) 
I lost power at 4:11 and got it back around 10:15 or so. Nothing too bad. However, some of my coworkers still didn't have it back by the time they were at work the next day.
Catman, no offense, but NY losing power for hours and Maine losing power for weeks are not the same thing. The world's economic center is not in Maine. Thousands of people do not commute from neighboring areas into major cities in Maine. Millions of people do not ride subways/trains in Maine. Just clearing that up. 
Does Cleveland have power yet? My friend and his family got back from Ohio that day. Lucky...
