We lost our power at 4 :14 Pm. I was at the supermarket checking out and the power went off. thank God that I did not gone earlier , otherwise we would have had some spoiled food. We live 20 miles north of NYC, when we got into the car our news station was operating on battery power and I found out that the whole Northeast was blacked out. First thing I thought was it was a terrorist attack.. they are still not sure though what it was. I tried to use the cell phone to call Dw because she was coming home from NYC from our DS's a doctor's appt. I could not get a signal. She was already home when I turned into the driveway. We just listened to the radio, talked and is got dark we BBq'd on the deck.. We had candles on the deck and the house. Iit was very relaxing. Then 5 minutes ago the power came back on.

I'm glad everyone has their power back.

LOL! I was wondering how many people are thankful they have a grill right now. We had a blizzard hit 10 years ago and we had to do without power for over a week (closer to 2 weeks ). I would've given anything to have had a grill back then so I could've bbq'd.

so glad you got your electricity back. It's amazing how much we depend on things we don't ever give much thought to!

Ours came back on at about 10:00. We took steaks out of the freezer and had a BBQ at our neighbors house. It was a nice evening even though it was HOT! My biggest concern was how was I going to have coffee in the morning if the power wasn't on LOL!

Our power just came a couple of hours ago. We are finally able to connect on line and still my cell phone isn't working.
We sat and watched the stars last night with our neighbours. It was actually a wonderful evening. We saw several shooting stars, many constellations we hadn't been able to see with the electricity on and talked well into the wee hours of the morning.
