Never seen anyhting like it? There was a huge power outage in the Northeast a couple decades ago due to a glitch at a Quebec hydro plant.

I am on the phone with about 35 people, many in the NY area -- Manhattan and Westchester. ALL lost power and network (duh) even on laptops.

Phones still working.

Any other data?

No, he apparently was speaking to his engineers when the station went off the air, and said they have never seen anything quite like it.......Nothing else. they were down about 20 seconds maybe.

Called my wife out on LI, suffolk county, black out there too. That's a large distance - 50-60 miles worth.

So is it a surge or outage? Around here outages are frequent.
