It's been a year (tomorrow) since "The Big Blackout" Where were you?

I was at home when it happened and we lost power for 4 hours.

It's been a yearl already? The year sure went by fast.

I was at my grandparent's house in Northern California. I read about it online.

Rhiannon · 08-13-2004, 11:33 PM

I wasn't affected by it and therefore I don't remember.

AKA · 08-13-2004, 11:33 PM

I was at work, and later my house, basking in all my electricity.

PZelda · 08-13-2004, 11:34 PM

I was right here, online.

At home, online.

I was never affected by it, but I do remember reading about it and seeing it on the news.

I was at home. I remember it being covered on the news.

I was at home with no power and I was bored out of my mind.

Sitting here on the computer. The computer went out for a second, and the lights flickered, but that's all that happened at my house. My cousins had no power, though.

I remember the blackout last year since I was coming home from Windum and had some ice cream at the place in Catskill and I heard that it was a blackout since I came home from the trip.

I have a radio runs by batteries and I was dosing off until 9:00 PM, the electricity came back on. That was one of my sad moments in history. I know everything about the 1965 and 1977 blackouts in NYC.

Here is that aircheck from 1977 in its entirety. This 1977 blackout is a must have.

I remember a blackout where they just had tiny bits of power to shoot pieces of The Daily Show and Conan, but I thought that was winter

Warm & Fuzzy · 08-14-2004, 02:06 AM
