I am finally back online. But much more importantly my food lasted in the refrigerator. Any other east cost members that were affected by the power outage? I live in a suburb of Cleveland, by the way.

And how. Lost power about 4PM yesterday. It came back up over the night, not sure when. We threw almost everything in the fridge out. Also, as soon as everything came back up we went out and got a supply of "D" batteries for the future. Cuz I know this is going to happen again, just you wait.

Looting reported in Ottawa during blackout. No looting in U.S. cities.

Freaky, I thought it would be the other way around.

Story Here...

No power outages here in PA.

Man, I just had power restored an hour ago. Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life. I had to walk home from work starting from midtown in NYC, crosssed the Manhattan Bridge, down Flatbush Ave, past Prospect Park, and up to Avenue F before I saw a bus and jumped on. I got home a little past midnight. My feet and calves were sore as hell from the long walk; I wonder how many miles... I've walked last night. When I got home, I took a shower and went to sleep.

I was expecting crazy looting, think about it....NY city, pitch black, no power,no alarms, only a thin layer of glass between you and all sorts of free treasures

The only risk would be trying to survive.

My power went off 2 hours after it came on, for two hours. There was a rumor that they were going to continue cycling the power in this fashion (two hours on, two off) but it's been about two and a half hours since it last came on. So far so good.
