Massive power outtages in the Northeastern US and parts of Canada

People criticize New Yorkers for being ruthless SOB\'s when it comes to everything. We lack patience, driving skills, manners, you name it we probably don\'t meet the "normal standards" of people around the nation. Yet when something like this happens, we do know how to act. You can probably contribute a lot of the cooperation to what happened after 9/11, but even like this, all of us handled it right.

Being California, you guys are used to rolling black outs, but I don\'t recall you guys having the experience of the travesty of this. Even though some areas recieved power earlier/later than others, most of us didn\'t get power until a good 8-10hours after this happened.

Did anybody catch that MSNBC report that in fact it wasn\'t a lightening strike? More like a serious structeral flaw. Ah well, the only thing that will suffer is stock....

Stupid power.  Well, the juice is loose here in Sterling Heights finally after about 26 hours.  Yippie.  Now I can pretend I wasn\'t living like an amish folk.

You\'re right.  Instead we have things like the Loma Prieta and Northridge earthquakes, brush fires every season, severe droughts, and crazy recall elections.

The point is don\'t call attention to your good points by saying how much better you are than some other state.  :o

Power just came on about 3 hours ago here in Ann Arbor, Michigan.


About 30 hours or something like that.


I work at a big ass grocery-Type store. I was at work when the power first went out and it was frickin\' crazy.

People running around yelling at each other and fighting over bottled water and D-Batteries.

Legal recall elections, they make laws for a reason.

People in Montreal aren\'t well liked by the rest of Canada, it seems. I just got back from a trip to Barrie, Ontario. They hate the "Quebecois".

Quebec= France Jr.

France Jr.= the only thing more cowardly and detestable than France itself. :D

And if the US is buying power from you guys, it\'s probably because
we can smack you around on the price of it! :D

ack please.. France Jr ? if only we could understand a word in their trou\'d\'cul poule of language, we could probably have a ressemblance with them. If you want to compare the people in quebec with another kind of people, you\'d be more right saying we\'re like irish people.
