Unfortunately the picture is fake. I read about it on another forum. The most noticable fact is the black area is darker than parts of the ocean. Secondly the blacked out area doesn't entirely match the blacked out area. Also according to the timestamp its a little after 11PM, at that time parts of the grid were already on, additionally it would be around dusk on the west coast at that time.

I uploaded 2 'real' images to the gallery but I'm not sure why there not there.

And at a quick glance, it looks like they missed LI, which, as far as I know, was still more than half out at 11 PM or so. I know I didn't get my power back till 1:30, whereas others got it back as soon as 7:30.

In any case, it still does look cool .

probably, as i said, it was a quick glance (i was running out the door to finish up my eagle project ). in that case then, it's still wrong, as parts of LI did have power very soon after everything else died...

Regardless, it's still a fake. If you look at the real photos (I believe someone posted them in the gallery here) they look totally different.

I, too, believe this photo is fake, although really cool-looking. The land would normally be darker than the ocean, however; water reflects light much better than land. At 11:15 PM, though, that area wouldn't have been COMPLETELY blacked out.

The editor also missed southeast Michigan. The photo is obviously a fake. If not for the land vs sea comparison, try land vs land. It should have looked about the same as northern Canada.
