I didn't fully realize how close I came to being out of power until I saw this pic!
it's weird how they think the whole thing started in OH and just tripped off the whole chain reaction.

How come west of the Mississippi nobody has lights?

 

[lizard]

less people
less lights on because the photo was taken at 11:15 EST, so it was still fairly light out west??

here's a pretty cool composite photo of the whole earth at night, it's neat to see what parts of the world are either underdeveloped or sparsely populated...

You should listen to (if you haven't already) "The Idea of North", a radio documentary made by pianist-extraordinaire Glenn Gould. It's all interviews with people talking about the barren northlands of Canada.
