Blackout in your families?

Quote:
Aug. 15 — The largest blackout in U.S. history slowly receded early Friday, with power returning in fits and starts throughout the Northeast and Midwest regions. Electricity also began returning to eastern Canada as officials on both sides of the border struggled to understand what had caused the power system to fail, and more importantly, why the disruption spread so rapidly and across such a wide area, cutting electricity to an estimated 20 million people.
I am afraid if you can use the computers to surf internet and post here.
I heard the news when I was working this morning. I can not belive it, but it is the truth. I hope you all ok soon. Miss you!
