Dave,

There seems to be a misimpression that all of New York State lost
power during last week's episode.  The electricity in my Cornell
office remained on throughout, and this power comes directly from
NYSEG.  (Most of the surrounding Ithaca community did lose power for 8
hours).

It would be interesting to get an accurate accounting of what went
dark and to understand how such islands of light managed to survive.
