Crazy how they mentioned several roller coasters stopped dead in their tracks going uphill, most notably the ones in Cedar Point Ohio.  I just got back from a day o\' fun at Busch Gardens, glad VA wasn\'t affected.

USA depends on Canada about power supply or what?

It\'s starting to come back in NYC... It\'s odd, I was never without power, and I am in Buffalo, 20 minutes from the Niagara Power Project (in fact I drove right past it 2 days ago...) which is where the whole thing started, if you wanna listen to Canada... which I know you don\'t.

No, Miguel... most of New York\'s power is generated first at Niagara Falls. That power helps NYC generate secondary power.

This whole situation tells us one thing.  Canada still blows.



And NYC doesn\'t rely on Canada for power.  They share power.  When Canada shut theirs down, NYC\'s grid was overloaded so they had to shut theirs down for precaution and right on down the line till 50 million people were effected.

I agree, well except for the fact that I don\'t live on the 30th floor of an apartment building.
