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:doon () inoc net] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 4:34 PM To: Joel Perez; nanog () merit edu Subject: Re: Power outage in North East On Thursday 14 August 2003 04:23 pm, Joel Perez wrote:

Power is flakier then all heck here in Albany, NY. Outages / major brown outs. We are running on Generator here since it is way cleaner power at the moment. -- Patrick Muldoon Network/Software Engineer INOC (http://www.inoc.net) PGPKEY (http://www.inoc.net/~doon) Key fingerprint = 8F70 6306 F0A7 B8DA BA95 76C4 606A 7DC1 370D 752C I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere.
