Yeah that is what I saw through the news feed up here. From one of the colleges computers and the section where I was at in Montreal. Had power. It was in certain sectors that came from the Niagra falls power plant that affected certain areas up here as well as NY and a few states down there.

I was one of the people caught in the blackout. I live near Toronto, Ontario. Man, it was awful . . . no power for about 12 hours. Fortunately, nothing really bad happened.
Finally it's back, but the authorities are warning that there could still be temporary blackouts because they can only generate about 2/3 of the power needed for everyone. 
The transit systems are partially out of service, water is running short (no power for the pumps for a long time), gas is hard to get, grocery stores are busy like crazy, people have been told not to go to work unless they absolutely have to and stay off the roads (still no traffic lights in some areas) . . .
Just goes to show how dependent we are, as a society, on electricity. You almost can't do anything any more, without it. I hope this sends a wake-up call to the power companies . . . their systems are antiquated and need to be upgraded.
We need a new  version, defending the power grid. Gotta get those grid bugs out.

I'm up in Toronto. Our entire downtown core ended up in the dark. The blackout started at just before 6PM eastern yesterday and power was restored at just after 5AM this morning.

Kewel at least it came back on quickly for you. I know my kid brother lives in the Toronto area as well. Couldn't get in contact with yesterday beacause Bell wanted to make sure that the phones wouldn't go wacky on them.
