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.

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

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.
