Power Outages

Kitana85 · 08-14-2003, 05:50 PM

Have you guys heard about these? All of Detroit, Clevland, NYC, and much of Toronto and Onterio are having major power outages! All the mass tranz in Manhatten is closed, and much of NJ and CT are having power crap too!

Any of you affected by these?

Your location thing says you live in NYC. How are you even posting this?

I moved to Jersey a while ago, I just never bothered to change my profile since I'll be moving to Pennsylvania next week. And only parts of NJ are out, which is how I'm writing this.

Satisfied?

Suck on it east coast, suck it long, and suck it hard. No power outages in Chicago.

Well, I live in southeast pennsylvania, so I'm allright becasue there are only blackouts in northern PA and such. It's crazy watching all of these New Yorkers having to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. sucky.

Oh yeah, one other thing.

Look for a big east coast baby boom in may 2004.

Well, all those who take the subway are screwed, so I guess they are walking.

Of course after I hear about this, so many people associate this to terrorism.
It sucks for the people who are stuck in subways and elevators, though.

Yeah and those who have electric powered health support stuff. They could die.

I'm sure hospitals have generators giving them power, anyone on oxygen machines can use O2 tanks for several hours.

If it lasts more than 24 hours, then you're looking at panic time.

Also, be on the look out for Son of Son of Sam.

Geez, I'm really going to hell.

I'm right on the "fringe". Nothing gets past Kalamazoo!

The power went out here for like 1 minute about 30 minutes before the big blackout happened. I don't know why though. Oh and I live right near Philadelphia.

Nothing happened here in California... And I hope nothing does happen.
