I am one of the lucky few with electricity tonight. My daughter is
still stuck on a Metro train in NY, trying to get home to Albany.

I hope she returns home safely.
As of now, everything looks pretty calm throughout the City.
Wasn't the case in '77


***News Flash*** NBC just announced a report that lightning struck a
Niagara Mohawk powerplant, causing the cascade. What?????

Funny, the weather records don't show any storm activity near the plant.

JoeTechnician,
Seeings how you (you think) are the most intelligent, most sought
after engineer (sic) on the planet, hasn't Bush contacted you to get
to the bottom of this? Or perhaps he realizes you are a liar, and are
busy pulling cable.

Thanks for your good wishes, Joe. My daughter is home, safe and
sound, about 12 hours behind schedule.
