It looks like the problem may have started in Ohio.  OK Canadians, you\'re off the hook ... FOR NOW.  but don\'t get any funny ideas... :D

I never got my power back until 7AM, and I live on Long Island, NY. It was terrible. Bloody effin hot. I was supposed to fly to California today, but that flight got cancelled and rescheduled until tomorrow. Even though a lot of states criticize New York for so many things, at times like these, we are able to work together and have our heads screwed on. I\'d be damned if something like this happened to California and expect anywhere near the level of cooperation we have in times like these.

Where I was, I was just informed that the power on the block in town was out, but soon after hearing the radio, I heard many states were without power, and of course thought terrorist attacks, but thankfully it wasn\'t.

One thing that is a somewhat good thing, you never saw so many stars in the sky without all the surrounding lights. It was amazing to see all the stars out last night, but it was a bitch sleeping with the heat.
You think positive, I\'ll think realistic.

Looks like both countries are pointing the blame.

My vote is Canada.

My guess is that Quebec has something to do with it. :D

Knowing Ohio and it\'s people, it wouldn\'t surprise me at all if it was us.  We have to be the dumbest bunch of people ever squeezed into a single state.

(Yes I am in a pissy mood, and yes it\'s because I can\'t stand Ohio drivers)

well, someone at work was reading over my shoulder, and he brillantly discovred that a huge cloud over Quebec produced a uberly long lightning that went all the way hit something in Ohio that had a huge impact wich equall to the biggest black-out ever known in north america.

so it\'s neither canada\'s or US\'s fault,
