CNN is reporting a sizable power outage affecting New York City,
Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, and Ottawa. The subways have
stopped in Manhattan and folks are walking in the streets. A
transformer is on fire on 14th street.
I just spoke on the phone with a friend in Ann Arbor, and he confirmed
the complete power outage there.
