It seems Cleveland got the worst of power outrage, since their water supply got really messed up too.
My power was out from 4.15pm on Thu until 3.40am Fri morning. I was lucky that I'm on the same grid as an ambulance station and major telephone switching center, so I never got subjected to any of the rolling blackouts yesterday - even though all the area surrounding me was out for a long time.
I was annoyed by many people that continued to run their a/c and even did laundry in my building, while they were asking not to run a/c and major appliances so they could get power to all people. So selfish!
I just hope they find the cause of this problem and make sure it doesn't happen again! I also hope this makes people more aware of the need to conserve electricity. Us North Americans are so greedy when it comes to power, it serves us right to lose it more often!
