>From CNN:

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A major power outage simultaneously struck dozens of
cities in the United States and Canada late Thursday afternoon.

Cities affected include New York; Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan;
Toronto and Ottawa, Canada. The power outage occurred shortly after 4 p.m.

State officials said the Niagara-Mohawk power grid was overloaded. The grid
provides power for New York and stretches into Canada. The officials said
the outage is likely a natural occurrence and not related to terrorism.
