I recall 3.2 million people losing power, some for over a month, a few years ago in Canada. Canadians were importing and stealing backup generators from the states so fast, Customs Canada still doesn't know how many generators crossed the border. http://members.aol.com/badice98/icestormDiary/icestormtext.html The rotating blackouts in California are annoying, but generally don't last more than 2 hours for any individual customer. If only someone could teach California drivers to stop at a blacked out stoplight. On Sun, 29 April 2001, Randy Neals wrote:
