I live in CT. My new server I just got setup went down a little while ago. (its in NYC) Some people in CT I know have already lost power. Its slowly spreading, and they don't know why.

I've been without power since 4:10PM EST, and it just came back up about 15 minutes ago. I live in the middle of Ohio too.

Cities affected included New York; Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Toronto and Ottawa, Canada.

All I had was a blip...so brief, my computer didn't even immediatly freeze (no UPS), though it ended up slowly falling to pieces. Quite a strange ocurrence, but apparently my part of CT was pretty lucky in the alternates available for the power grid.
