The US/Canada Blackout.
 

Anyone else get effected by this? My power went out at 3 pm and came back on at 11. I was really worried about being able to see Freddy vs Jason tomorrow, but I figure it's safe now.

It was weird, driving into different towns, people thought it was the end of the world or something.

Nope, I wasnt effected, but places close to me were so I lucked out. Haha, end of the world. I did get p'ed off at all the local news coverage interupting every 5 mins to say the same god damn thing they said 5 mins ago.

The way I figure, if someone is still beffected, we won't know for a while.

:twink:

I'm not certain, but I think my ISP may have been affected by it. I haven't been able to sign on since approximately the time the blackout started. (I'm using my boyfriend's ISP right now)

I live in the West, so I didn't have to worry about it. But, I'm seeing Freddy vs Jason tomorrow as well. Go Freddy! :D

Yeah, everything seems back to normal. I'm glad that if it was the end of the world, it could be put off a few days for me to see Freddy Vs Jason.

Glad I live elsewhere.... :|
They say it's not due to terrroism...but how do we know that?!? *shifty eyes*

:lol:

............What did you do, Mars?

NOTHING!! I SWEAR!!

We didn't know about Sept. 11th and THAT happened...didn't it?

We knew it was terrorists like 2 hours after it happened.

What about Gary Colman running? We didn't know...*pauses*...eh, forget it.

You mean that Webster kid? Or was it Diff'rent Strokes?

Diff'rent Strokes...I think.

Oh. Yeah. I remember when he jumped on that car hood when he was a security guard.

What'chu doin' here, paperazzi?
:lol: I couldn't resist!

Yeah in my area it was black out from 4:10pm Thursday to 6:30 AM Friday. What a hectic day. Couldn't sleep all night either was so bloody hot!

Geez..The stupid blackout was on for about 12 hours for me, starting from 4:05pm to 3:45am.

I swear Yesterday was the worst day of my life. So boring, and hot.

Same here. Lasted about 12 hours. Toronto was a ghost town.

Sayonara.

*hugs the Texas power-grid*

Hee, we're not in connected to you other power users, and even if one of our powerplants was destroyed, the others could easily make up the difference. No massive blackouts here.

On another note: My sympathies to all of you who've had to endure the heat, darkness, and lack of Internet connections.
