A mobile phone is no use without a power supply to the cell masts. It's the entire eastern coast as well.

Should have posted this in the first place but was just rushing to get it out (you know what i mean
) Now i sound like an overexcited journo
For people who cant get to a tv,New York is just full of ppl walking home or something but it's mainly Eastern America and some parts of Canada that have had a full power blackout.
New York city,Detroit and Cleveland all have no power and in New York there are NO buses or trains.(fery boats are still GO tho).
And there is NO terrorism links.
Looks like everything is on hold for you peeps
and it looks very hot over there

This has happened before (domino effect) it was attributed last time to a bad relay. You would have thought they would have put procedures in place to prevent it from happening again?
Maybe they will this time.....
