Has anyone heard of a big Power outage in the North east? I just got a call from one of my tech's in the GBLX bldg in Newark, NJ at 1085 raymond and they are telling him that they lost power! But I also got a call from AT&T in NY that they also lost Power!
It looks like a rather large power outage -- we're in South Western Ontario, Canada, and power is out in Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Hespler, and (I'm pretty sure) London as well. Can't say about Toronto.
latest word (on cnn.com) is that the niagara-mohawk grid (upstate NY and parts of canada) overloaded and went down. i lost power here twice over a period of about 15 minutes (here being on NYSEG, east of Albany NY, which is joined to Ni-Mo at the hip.) it's back up, but i suspect it'll be shaky for a while. all the burning transformers, etc., are all probably side effects of the major power outage. richard -- Richard Welty rwelty@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Java, PHP, PostgreSQL, Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
