hmmmm, could it have been a disgruntled gamer who wanted a better connection?;)

Well, no-one seems to be biting.

Ironically this outage has turned around and bit me on the backside....so you can all have a laugh at me now.

All my wife's relatives who came to visit are stuck here since Air Canada cancelled all its flights today.

:(

ROFL Curval!  Yes, the most powerful country on earth is feeling the heat... :D

I remember the big one, New York - 1965. There were about five transformer stations handling the load. They were all maxed out, and when the first one blew, its load was spread out amongst the remaining four, which were then running at 125%! So they blew quickly once the first one had gone.

Time to declare war on the North American power grid and maybe build a nuke power plant in Manhatten!

Who knows man..we may get a hurricane...THAT would make for an interesting vacation for you.

Looks like we have the house btw, so we will have tons of room.  Almost a shame because the Condo was nice for visitors, but c'est la vie.  

Any idea on a date yet?
