I vaguely remember this happening, but I never considered this some sort of major event that I would use to judge the passage of time.


"Hey man, remember where you were when a few states didn't have power for two whole days?!"

unless you lived in one of those states. i do remember watching everyone walk around outside from foxnews.

anytime something happens in the northeast it is much bigger news than if it happened anywhere else in the world.

i'm suprised they didn't call this SUPER ULTRA MEGA BLACKOUT OF DOOM

i'm surprised so few of those super rich buildings in Manhattan have their own generators.

This was a pretty damn big deal. 10 years has gone by fast.

Those pics of NYC all dark are freaking crazy

Would make great desktop wallpaper at a higher resolution.

I like how people that live in areas where most buildings are not more than 3-4 stories and no one uses public transit can not understand why in a city where there are tons of skyscrapers and everyone uses an electric powered subway to get around has a hard time functioning with no power.
