Thus spake Joel Perez (jperez () numind net) [14/08/03 16:27]:
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.
