Yesterday afternoon at around 4:15 pm (Eastern time) there was an enormous blackout that affected all of southern Ontario and many states. This blackout lasted for hours and flickered on slowly. Some people still don't have power right now. Please post if your city/town has been affected.

My cousins in New York called and said that it happened to them. And phones do work when the power is out, so don't call me a liar.

about 4 or 5 counties around us here in michigan were affected. now WE have to turn off as many things as possible because our power company is trying to supply power to those counties <_<

You can pretty much ignore the times on that, I rarely ever have Xfire on when I play. I should, though.

The power grid in our area has restored power to certain areas of my city. That's why I can post.

He meant the people who don't have power now.
