I left work at 4 pm, went to the supermarket and on the way home listened a local radio station talking about a massive blackout. The weird thing was, the part of town (Utica NY)I was driving through still had power (and never lost it), but my neighborhood was out till about 10 pm. There wasn't any clear dividing line between who had power and who didn't, it was like a camouflage pattern. Seems like folks in some cities could sing "Song for a Blackout Night"--"The lamp is burning low upon my tabletop, and so is my neghbor's"
