Largest-Ever Blackout Hits Eastern U.S.
By CALVIN WOODWARD
Associated Press Writer
The biggest power blackout in history hit steamy U.S. and Canadian cities Thursday, stranding people in subways, closing nuclear power plants in Ohio and New York state and choking streets with workers driven from stifling offices.

And while I was posting it, ABC said that Canada's prime minister said that lightening caused the outage.
In the meantime, unrelated, of course ;) NORAD sent up unscheduled airplanes.
All this from ABC.

Well, if the lightnung knocked the plant off line, capacity was maxed out and the load factors went too high, couldn't that have caused a domino effect along the grid? Though Gov. Pataki said he didn't this was caused by a capacity problem.

Nope, nothing unusual at all.
I see nothing. I know nothing. At least on FR so that I don't get zotted by the AdminModerator and Co.
But if we were in a bar, friend, I could actually speak my mind...and I would.
But for right here, right now, I'm dumb as a post. I'm deaf as a doornail.
