O.P. Shocked  Power Outage
Well I was on my computer today, and then all of a sudden my lights dimmed, my monitor shut off, and my computer restarted.  I was like huh?  and my mom was like, "what happened?"  and then like 1 minute later it happens again.  And then the whole power shuts off.  We go to our neighbors house and he tells us that it happened all around town.  Then my friend's mom drops off my little brother and tells us that it is happening all over texas cuz there our main power plant like overheated or something.  We go on with out electricity for a while and then (I am just listening to my iPod which luckily was fully charged:P)  And it is really hot outside and inside by now(9:00)  Plus, where I live it is soooooooo Humid.   So I go inside and  start listening to the radio and I heard a reporter say that they weren't letting anyone near the power plant and that there was 6 firetrucks there:S  The called this a brown out and on the news they said it was possible that it could last up to 3 days:S  Luckily it came back at about 11.  Very weird day....:P

I had the same here in Holland a few weeks ago. In the morning the power went down for half a second or something and later in the afternoon the power went down for 45 minutes 8-)

RE: Power Outage
once there was a power outage when there was a fire near by, but it had shut off the second i clicked "Empty Recycle Bin", i was confused for a minute. i thought that it was the pc not the power (it was day, so no lights), until i realised that radio stopped working :P

Who lives in Ontario or New York, Detroit or some where close to New York.

Remember the black out that lasted for hours. Then the next day it kept dieing.


Heres a satilite pic showing the black out:
