I'm in Toronto, and I was in the heart of downtown when the power went down.
That was some scary shit.
We were up high in a building, and were listening to the news on a portable little radio. No one wanted to say it, but we were all thinking the same thing: September 11th all over again. When we heard slowly but surely, every two minutes, that a new city -- further and further south -- didn't have power, a sinking feeling grew in our stomachs.
I got power back up at around 1:30 am, after a few candle wax spills and tumbles in the dark, but it's amazing how much technology has taken over our lives.
Kudos to the pedestrians who took up the task of directing traffic, and to those citizens who gave them water and umbrellas to shelter them from the beating sun....
it was an amazing scene.
