i live outside of toronto and i got hit by the blackout...and only approximately 15 hours after the blackout did we get our power back...i was one of the lucky ones who had phones in the house which do not require electricity so i could still reach people...i was home alone and on the computer when the blackout happened so my first thought was that it was just my house...only after a phone call from a relative did i know that it was all of ontario (and later on i found out parts of usa). also since i was at home...i had no way to listen to the radio so i didnt know about anything that was happening.
overall, i actually didnt mind the blackout...my cousins and a couple of other relatives came over and we went swimming (while it was still light out) and then had dinner (which was mashed potatoes, barbecued chicken, stir fried vegetables, rice, and two other dishes i dont remember... all cooked on teh barbecue and gas burner) and then played board games by candlelight. i thought it was a great night and by the end, i forgot that there was no power.
i was wondering if anyone knew the reason why there was a blackout?? all i know is that canada was blaming it on the us and vice versa.
