      heard that Niagra Mohawk grid is down. Not sure why that would impact HydroQuebec, though.
      It wouldn't. That's why i'm posting even though my coworkers on the other side of the river can't.
      They're on Hydro One over there (form. Hydro Ontario)
      What?

        Is that the reason this board is so silent tonight?

            I think someone messed up. French Canadian TV is (mostly) based in Montreal and they're all live and reporting about the story.
            What?

              good - seems like theres some exageration. DC, Montreal, Chicago all seem to be up despite preliminary reports.

                    I thought they were in Toronto but apparently not.

                    Local news is showing images from downtown Ottawa. Major traffic jams! Ouch!
                    I finished at 3:30: just in time to get here without any problems.
                    What?

                      "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A New York State official said the Niagara Mohawk power grid overloaded on Thursday, causing a massive power outage, CNN reported, and New York Major Michael Bloomberg said it was likely a natural occurrence.


                      "It may be well into the evening before power comes back on," Bloomberg told the U.S. cable television network. He said smoke from a Consolidated Edison Inc. plant in the city was due to the plant's automatic shutdown, not to a fire, as had been reported.

                      He said, "I can tell you 100 percent sure that there is no evidence as of this moment whatsoever of any terrorism."

                      A massive power outage swept across swaths of the eastern United States and Canada on Thursday, leaving sections of New York, Detroit, Cleveland and Toronto without electricity, witnesses said.

                      It was not immediately clear whether the Niagara Mohawk problem caused the wider outage. "

                            Bloomer's cracks me up, everytime something happens he just blurts out "terrorism, it's not terrorism, but it is an attack on American ppl, but not terrorism..."

                            He needs to keep his mout shut.

                              lol. What's the bet those evil terrorists got their hacksaws and gear out, and took out a few mains power lines, just for the hell of it.
