Was it 1965 when they had the big black out?may happen again?.
Yes, November 9th, 1965. I was in fifth grade at the time, and I remember it very well. My mother was cooking dinner in the kitchen. I remember the sound as our refrigerator motor spun slower and slower, the lights dimmed to red, and the TV picture shrank. That night I went out with a school friend. I remember the moonlight, and the incredible number of stars that were visible.
If another big blackout happens again, I would expect the federal government to try to take over the entire electricity distribution system.
