Lightning? Are you kidding? Have you seen the weather map from weather.com - The Weather Channel's site?

It's completely clear in the northeast and has been all day. There have been no storms, which implies no possibility of lightning.

But you didn't hear it from me.

Yup, I know. I checked, too. Just askin'. But then we get a lot of squirrel assaults on the power around here, so we have a healthy respect for Mother Nature and the local fauna. Our two local TV stations are still off the air. But Binghamton's CBS affiliate in on the air. Go figure.

Seems like it could just be a very overburdened system with high temperatures and everyone using too much electricity. It seems the only cold place today is here where it's supposed to be hot. I'm not ruling out a terrorist attack with the open borders and all ---- but I think there's other possibilities.
