Naw...... she's a short... sucks the power.Hmmm... I always thought of her as an "open"
To: Publius
Yeah - now there's a vulnerability. Terrorists strike the US by hitting Hydro Quebec.
To: aristeides
Remember the power outage out west a few years ago. Part of some exercise to check the vulnerability of the grid.
Could this be some kind of hack attack?
To: Blueflag
...ALL lost power and network (duh) even on laptops.No batteries in dem laptops?

I wonder why the other NYC TV stations don't have emergency generators. Apparently WABC and WINS are now broadcasting again, after a brief down time, over the radio.

Quebec Hydro was responsible for the Great NYC Blackout of 1965. I think somebody put a croissant on the console.

I just accessed web servers at NYU, Rockefeller, Columbia and CUNY. All are on Manhattan. All seemed to be up. UPS units, or is this not a widespread outage?
To: BellDude
Central NJ also experienced a flicker just now... Monmouth County....same thing here....also heard parts of Point Pleasant and Bricktown in Ocean County are out.
To: Lil'freeper
Wilmington DE (Halfway between Baltimore and Philadelphia) is fine too. As are all surrounding areas and cell phone towers.

I second that. Had a surge at about ten minutes after four. Noticed the fan speed up and then my clock flicker for a few seconds. Many radio stations are dead for the moment.

Hannity said "we're only on right now in WABC NY," but I heard him saying that on KABC Los Angeles.

SpaceWeather.com reported heavy sunspot activity recently. Solar Flare?
To: Publius
Al Quaida said they would attack our "backbone". Could they have meant the power grid?We can do this ourselves without help, thank you.
