Subject: Who here remembers the Eastern Seaboard Blackout of 2003?
Written By: LooseBolt on 03/27/18 at 3:29 pm
I would guess anyone west of Ohio would probably not remember this, but in the last week of August 2003, the very same day I got my braces in, the eastern half of the U.S. and Canada experienced a massive, 24-hour blackout.
I have such vivid memories of it too, not least because of the pain of adjusting to braces without any modern assistance like sucking on ice or whatnot. I remember lines forming outside of drug stores as people stocked up. One woman in particular kept crowing that it was “the terrorists” who’d done it. We didn’t know, as the best we could do was call relatives.
Anybody got interesting stories from that time? I’d be interested to hear them.

I was abroad when this happened so I didn't experience it. My friends said they had a large barbecue. They made it sound fun ;D

I don't. I was only 4 when it happened and also my mother and I weren't living in NYC at the time.
We came back to NYC 2 years later in August 2005.
