Except for the Swifty wedding at MSG?
To: clashfan
That was a great song.
Lovin' Spoonful came to an unhappy end, in California.
1966 was unusually hot in NYC, where it went to 103°F on July 3rd.
Summer In The City was released the next day, July 4th, 1966. The song had been recorded in March, 1966.

If you look up NYC and power outages it’s pretty sparse. This article is bs.

THE GREAT NORTHEAST BLACKOUT OF 1965
The great northeast blackout of 1965 was a significant disruption in the supply of electricity on Tuesday, November 9, 1965.
It affected parts of Ontario in Canada and Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont in the United States.
Over 30 million people and 80,000 square miles and were left without electricity for up to 13 hours.
There was no information on what had happened on the TV or Radio and those affected didn't know if it was a blackout, a nuclear attack or some sort of major natural calamity.

This is what happens when you allow corrupt politicians to make technical decisions way beyond their knowledge by bribing corrupt technical people.
To: Allegra
I suppose being a technical Australian I should have a sad but I’m mostly indifferent. I’ll follow this cup on threads here on FR and wish everyone well.

No power in NYC? How will the emergency disaster personnel get notified if there is a terrorist attack on July 4th? Could that be the plan?
To: Iron Munro
I remember that. The power line frequency dropped and dropped. The lights dimmed. The refrigerator sounded weird.
That night, at about 8:00, I went out with a friend of mine, walking through the city. His dad asked him to go check on the family-owned grocery store, and he didn’t want to go alone. I was in fifth grade, he was in sixth.
It was so utterly dark. I had never seen the stars so bright in my life.

Many saw it, and want the disasters to promote their point of view.

The pie analogy I heard once:
Socialism thinks of how to slice up one pie among ever more people more equitably.
Capitalism is all about baking more pies.

“UNPLUG EVERYTHING!”
They did and that is the problem. They unplugged nuclear, unplugged fossil fuels, unplugged from the Macellus shale which is a huge reserve of natural gas, more than enough to power New York State. Unplugged from new construction of conventional power plants.
You voted for it New York and are now getting it hard real hard.
My sympathy factor is zero.

They voted for this clown, now let them stew in their own juices as they sweat out these hot days of summer. See what it was like in the heat waves of the past!
1882, 1896, 1911, 1936, 1953. And no AC.
