RE: Power outage in North East
FROM CNN website NEW YORK (CNN) -- A major power outage simultaneously struck several large cities in the United States and Canada late Thursday afternoon. Cities affected include New York; Boston, Massachusetts; Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Toronto, Ontario; and Ottawa, Ontario. The power outage occurred shortly after 4 p.m. Much of Midtown Manhattan and Wall Street were shut down, including all area airports and the Long Island Railroad. The airports were operating on back-up power and operations were reported to be normal, officials said. The New York City Police Department said they were trying to determine what happened. A Con Edison transformer on East 14th Street in Manhattan was afire, CNN learned. Thousands of people could be seen leaving buildings and walking into the streets. New York subways were reported stopped and people were trapped in the cars. -Original Message- From: Patrick Muldoon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 4:34 PM To: Joel Perez; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Power outage in North East On Thursday 14 August 2003 04:23 pm, Joel Perez wrote: Has anyone heard of a big Power outage in the North east?

Re: Power outage in North East
Sounds huge and probably bigger than just a single plant. Watching the MSNBC/CNN feeds in the NOC shows everyone filing out of NYC on foot b/c of lack of subway and traffic-light-induced gridlock. The primary affect we've seen so far is the drop off in customer traffic based on CPE being offline. No real hit to infrastructure yet.

Despite some news reports, Boston does not seem to be effected by the blackout, nor is MA in general. As I recall, there was some talk earlier this year about connecting the MA grid to the NY area grid - but that talk got stalled. I think people were worried about insufficient connectivity and resources, and getting dragged down by just the kind of scenario we're seeing right now.
