Anyone know what's going on? Apparently these outages extend as far as Toronto and Ottawa.

Here's a blurb from CNN:
• New York City, Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, Ottawa, other cities affected
• Homeland Security: Terrorism not suspected
• Governor declares a state of emergency in New York, deploys additional state police
• Federal official: Outage at Manhattan power plant destabilized Niagara Mohawk power grid
• Ground stops ordered for airports in New York, Toronto, Cleveland after outage affects security screening

It's funny, my cousin and uncle are here from Queens on the perfect weekend to visit- not only is the weather actually nice (if hot) for a change, but there's no power at their house! Even stranger was that we were completely oblivious to what was going on for about 2 1/2 hours because my cousin was playing "The Sims," and now my uncle is freaking out.
I hope PBO and all my relatives are okay...
