Power outages in the US and Canada - more than 50 million people have been without power since yesterday with an enormous power-outage which has affected the whole of the eastern seaboard. Terrorism has been discounted, but noone seems to know what has been the cause. People have been stuck in lifts, tunnels have been shut, one can only guess how hot it is without any air conditioning, I wonder if it's still chucking it down with rain.
