its just a god damn blackout for christ sakes...stop crying its not like your life is in danger...over here in california last year we had to endure a weeksworth of power outage/blackouts cuz of storms the energy crisis but nobody was crying for their life... | The rolling blackouts in California and this blackout do not compare. In California, they disconnected one small part of the grid at a time so that the power demand wouldn't overwhelm power generation capability. Thus at any given time only a small portion of the grid was without power, and only for a few hours at a time. Out here, the entire power distribution grid from NYC to Toronto to Detroit to Cleveland was without power for an extended period of time (20 hours for me out in Ann Arbor, MI). In Cleveland, the water distribution system draws its power from the grid, so they had it even worse out there--no power AND no running water. 
I was under the impression that, after the Great Blackout of 1965, the power grid was designed so that such a widespread power failure would not occur again, but I guess I was wrong...
