Shows who had power and who didn't...

From the looks of it, if i lived 30 miles east, I woulda had power. Anybody know the cause yet? I've heard it was Ohio's fault, Canada's fault or New York's fault.

I think it was a the work of a lone squirrel, chewing on a wire.

It's funny how the power outage worked. I like in upstate NY and the power never flickered at my home. But the power was out in the towns next to mine. Weird.

Jeff, man, you've gotta stop chewing on those power lines

I see my lights were still on! Wonder who the person was in the front yard?

That looks like it was photoshopped.... the sea has a slight blueish cast and yet the blackout area... even around the fringes... does not!

seems alot of people are blaming canada for the blackout... how is this our fault?

Could be.... I could not find any solid reference to Geostar and ISAT on the web.

Cause you guys just started using electricity a couple years ago?

I agree.



Posted by: XRpredator---------------------

I'm not going to rule that out either. I think the whole blackout was photoshopped.



Posted by: RM_guy---------------------

My dad sent me a picture of before and after that really showed the blacked out areas. You could tell it wasn't photoshopped because it showed the area that still had power mixed in with those that didn't. I'm trying to get the picture again. I deleted it by mistake but I'll post it when I get it.



Posted by: XRpredator---------------------

it never happened



Posted by: yz250roost---------------------

I agree that is was photoshopped as well, and it wasn't even a good job, it looks like they just filled in black, what they should have done is cloned some of the area there up in canada and filled in with the clone, that would have been a much better job, IMHO
