What's up with this North East Power outtage?

[Muzikman]

I am sitting at work and all of our north east sites died. So, can anyone in New York, Detroit, or Toronto get on the internet? Do you have power? What's the word?

Cleveland's power is out. I'm about 45 min south of cleveland, and in some places it's on, some it isn't. Kind of random. Also stop lights continue to go out even in the last 15 minutes or so :-/

I have power however.

Central Canada and Ontario are also out of power. Canada supplies a huge amount of power to the States. The news is saying there has been problems with the Canadian supply of this power grid, and this is what you got.

Watching news and NY is a mess. Subways not working. it goes from NY to Det. and into Canada Pretty much the North East

Why dont they just switch off E and put the power grid in manual:)

What's up with you putting this in PAINTBALL Talk?

Maybe this is a case of poor mis-managment. I am sure it is just a problem with the transformer like they said on the news.

No Redundancy can really screw up the day for millions of people, can't it?

the electronics systems they use are very glitchy. in rhode island the power has gone off a couple times and the hospital generators dont kick in for apparently the same reason this happened over such a large area

power is OK here in plymouth MA, however, it was knocked out in various places by the most recent storm.

I can't even get to work this morning. NJ transit is running on Sat schedule, and even that was 45 minutes behind. The subways are shut, and the buses are running limited service. Luckily I calle the office and found out we had the day off.
