when did everyone's power come back on?
in Welland it came back at around 8:45 last night. So we were only without power for a few hours.

it was like 8:30 or so for us on LI. we were only without for about 4 hours.
too bad the effects are lasting and trains still aren't running so plans are being ruined.

It was kinda cool .. the entire mall where I worked lost power .. I guess it was all into the US too .. power was lost from Florida to Ottawa. Anyway, the entire mall lost power, EXCEPT for where I work.
Ha .. thank goodness we had those back up generaters that would have kept us going for days.
It was funny when the American's were calling in asking why their phone quit working and we tell them it's a power outage, and that it was a problem on our end .. they're like phew .. not a terroist attack then .. who'd do that to Canada?

Our power came back on just after 5 this morning.
I played a lot of gameboy by flashlight.

GLORIOUS COMPUTER POWER!!!
Oh my God, I am a worthless shell of a man without a computer. I wrote three songs, re-read The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, and sat in darkness. That was my night. Jesus Christ, I hope this never happens again.

hey that actually sounds pretty productive.
in my four hours i sat around, listened to my friend play guitar, sat around, looked at pictures, and sat around.
and then luckily the power came back on. so i sat around and watched the led zepplin dvd.

I wish that the power had gone out here. Maybe I would have done something productive.
You "powerless" people are lucky. I'm being serious.

well, the only lucky people are the ones with their own generators..like me!
my power went out at 4:15pm yesterday, and came back on today at 1:30pm... they've even named the black out "Power meltdown 2003" over here..haha

Now they're doing random blackouts in Ontario for the rest of the day. They aren't giving any notice though as to when a random blackout may happen in your area, which doesn't seem like a very good idea.

Sweet, sweet electricity. *pats computer*

This was my thinking yesterday:

yeah we were part of that 12 percent without power
it was quite an experience

that is hard to fathom

My power came back on at around 10:20 last night.
However, since we're still low on power, we're doing "rolling blackouts" in Kingston.
Fuck.
Now the power just randomly goes off for a couple of hours.
We were waiting all day at work for it to go off. And it never did.
