In reply to: Day 's message, "All of Ontario lost power, we lost it around 4:10 yesterday and just got it back around 3:30 today. Mighty hot day to do without power. Hubby went into work at 5 pm yesterday and didn't get home til almost 3 today trying to help keep the cities generators going for the water pumps. Heard it affected 50 million people both here and the US! We made history yet again!" on 21:31:19 08/15/03 Fri

The latest guess is that it started in Ohio, because that's where the power first went out. I guess what they don't know is why or how it happened as there are suppose to be safety mechanisms to prevent such things. The fact it affected 50 million certainly makes us all aware that we all have a bring problem on our hands. Right now we're being asked to operate on half power, with many places of business closed. Many aren't complying though like the neon signs all over which is stupid. This is another turning point for us all as a society I'm sure. (NT) -- Day, 18:24:42 08/18/03 Mon
- And another thing, they've known all along that the grids are old and need billions to upgrade but they just put it off, now we're all using more than can be supplied and its only gonna get worse. Time for SOLAR power I think! LOL (NT) -- Day, 18:27:00 08/18/03 Mon
