Thanks for your explanations. I didn't know much about the power grids.

Bloomberg just said to "turn off electrical appliances, especially air conditioners".

Okay, I can see the A/C's...but how do I know if an appliance is "on" when there is no power to tell?

He should have said "unplug appliances but leave a light switch or lamp on so you'll know when power comes back on".
