I find it hard to believe that the same power company controls power in Michigan, Ohio and New York but not PA. Let alone Canada. Unless they go by different names. I don't know. It all reeks of Dubya to me. And it is very reminiscent of the "brown outs" in Cali. We thought that was legit, too, until the Enron scandal came out. I don't know, this just all sounds iffy to me.

I am in Rochester which is an hour from Niagra Falls. Sections of the city are with out power. It is now 11:54pm and Im still with out power... Too bad the power is working at work. .
do you think I can get away with being late tomorrow??
Anywhoo from my understanding Niagra Mohawk supplies power to most of the north east. My local power company purchases its power from them. But since only one Grid overloaded these are the cities/states that were affected. When the lights went out the first thing I thought was AAAATTTTACKKKK!!! Then I heard there was speculation that the computer worm my have had something to do with this.
