electricity outage??!?! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Georgia's on my Mind · 08-14-2003, 04:41 PM

I just saw this on CNN...

Power outages reported in Northeast, including New York City, and other cities including Cleveland, Ohio, and Detroit, Michigan. Details soon.

does anyone have any more details?

Yeah I'm watching now. It got to me for about 30 seconds (I'm in NJ) and that was about it. It said it might have started from a power plant fire in Manhattan.......then it spread to parts of Canada.

I'm surprised it didn't hit you, Chris, since you're sort of close to NYC.

Does anyone know if it hit Chicago? I know it's not NE, but it hit Detroit, and Detroit would be more Midwest than NE...

They shut down all the subways and trains in NYC too. They're trying to get all those people out now.

Wow, this is huge.

I didn't think of that. Yea, it's the middle of the summer. It must be scorching over there.

Janice · 08-14-2003, 06:02 PM

I just heard this now. It's terrible. The poor people stuck in subways, etc.
I wonder if it will affect Boston?
