Let's hope it breaks that people work together and help each other rather than looting and killing.

That's what happend in JAX last year. We were w/o power from 3:30pm to 10:30pm due to fires. Crime was lower than on most nights.

Hoping your staff remains safe.

Could this effeminate-looking super villain be the culprit?
Maxwell Dillon was a high-wire lineman for New York's major electrical power company. While holding power lines that were still connected to their spool, Dillon was struck by lightning. The unusually configured magnetic field that was generated by the wound spool of one-inch cable and the live, high-tension wires caused a body-wide mutagenic change in his nervous system. This change transformed him into a living, electrical capacitor, powered by the micro-fine rhythmic muscle contractions that normally regulate body temperature. Donning a colorful disguise and calling himself Electro, Dillon decided to use his power for personal gain.

Interesting question. Right now, everything looks stable in NYC. Huge throngs of people are calmly moving through the streets of NYC. For those unfamiliar with NYC, the vast majority of commuters take the trains into Manhattan and now they are out of luck. We are talking millions of people who are going to have to find an alternate way home. Many of them live 20 miles or more away from the city so it's not as if they can just cross a bridge and walk home (though many can who live in Brooklyn, Queens, etc.).
If power is not restored right away, many people are going to have a hard time getting home tonight.
Here in Boston, we have full power. I wonder why we are not blacked out as well as I believed we were all on the same grid (not that I'm complaining).

WMAL: blackout started in Ottawa, spread from there. So how do we know it won't spread further?
Power was down at the University of Maryland in College Park for a while, but it's back up now.

Sounds like you know what your talking about, but what did you just say?
