Same thing happened to southern Ontario (Canada) in the summer. Lost power for a few days. That sucked. At least it was sunny and the tank in my 7 was full.

Ahh up here it was pretty widespread. For gas or food (that wasn't spoiled) I had to drive for about 30 minutes. Certain bigass chunks of grids were out.

I gotta say, as shitty as it is without power, this is pretty sweet sitting at the ol starbucks on the laptop, too bad I can't aford to do it more often.



I am impressed as well, T-Mobile has the bandwidth, there is 6 or 7 people logged on right now and everything loads very quickly.

We've still got heat cause we haev a gas fireplace, I had to put the lizards in front of it this morning to get warm. They are pretty cold, but sleeping so they should be ok.
