Maybe the Admin Moderator is fooling around with the high voltage again.

A lot of the Northeast's power comes from Canada. Is Chretien having another hissy-fit? :-)

Odd - we had a power surge here in NW Ohio just about the same time.

Could be The Day The Earth Stood Still" all over again.

Hannity was just talking to his engineer and said that there were power outages all over the east coast. No details on extent. Did Gray Davis take over the whole country instead of just California?

Hearing smoke coming from ConEd building in NY -- Power out in Toronto, too. This is second-hand

I'm 30 miles west of Manhattan in Somerset County NJ and we just had a very strange brown-out situation for a few seconds, both computers went dead, air conditioners, CO detector went nuts, about half the power in the house for about the length of time you describe. Very odd, not your usual brown-out at all, and I really couldn't call it a power failure.

As I'm typing this my husband called me and I'm on the phone with him, he has no power in Englewood, which is a couple miles west of the George Washington Bridge. I can hear the radio from his car in the background, he has Sean Hannity on ABC 770, everything in the area seems to be out. Wow.

He also said 1010 WINS is off the air, can't get it.

Power still off in many areas according callers in Westchester. Some NY radio stations reporting still down.
