I live in Richmond Hill part of the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and I actually slept through the beginning of the blackout.
I was working the night shift these last two weeks and so I came home thursday morning went to sleep, woke up and was surprised by my family telling me the whole eastern sea board is in a blackout. And the power has been out since 4pm.
I had to work last night as well, or atleast I thought I did. The phones were so busy that I couldn't even get through to work. So I got there and they told me production is canceled, go home.
Power just came back on at around 6:30am on Friday. Hopefully it will stay on.
The great thing about the blackout last night, was seeing the night sky. Some people in T.O. even managed to see the Meteor shower. But the stars were out and with no light polution they looked great.
