Most of New York? I just checked the map and a huge part of New York is yellowed out. WTF? Edit: I guess yellow is for small outages but they seem to be all over. ---

Nope this was due to a “cut” on a cable that runs up Niagara St. I believe. Our campus (my work) is currently down and has been since 1AM. Power went out around 10PM last night but came back on an hour later. \ If this is the same outage at least it was trouble on a main line and they had to lock out sections. ---

Hmm my step dad works for NYSEG I’ll ask him what’s going on. He’s home so it has to be something stupid.
