Yeah, that happened today. I live in Nj and good thing I didn't get hit hard. The power was on the fritz for about an hour and then was fine. I doubt it was a terrorist act. It must have started because of all the strain....It started in Canada or Manhatten.

A lightning strike is believed to have been the cause.

But what about back up power? even if it overloaded one plant, the back up power should have kicked in.

it's easy to explain ahs anyone here seen the movie Oceans eleven they were explaining grids the lightning although I doubt there was any would have knocked out one grid and the others would have fallen one by one domino effect.

i agree with ush that these things happen and that its probably not terrorism. it will cost an assload of money to fix it though.
