I'm outside of Toronto and we lost all power at around 4.10. Luckily I had the day off and was actually outside reading a book in the backward at the time. Slowly saw the neighbours coming out looking all hot and bothered so went to check and sure enough...no power. look over at the sky and see this huge ball of smoke rising...(!)
So I got in the Car and listened to the CBC where they themselves were running on backup power...They didnt have any details themselves and were asking callers to call in telling them what the situation was in their neck of the woods...Apparently the smoke rising turned out to be a burning oil refinery here in the town which they didnt know was caused by the outtage or not...
Its a good thing I wasnt at work when this happened otherwise I wouldnt know how I'd have gotten home...
Its also funny since this situation was part of a report I did last semester on security in the tech age...
oh yess....I got power back at 11pm....power is slowly being restored across Ontario.
