A lighting bolt struck a power plant in Niagara falls on the US side right? That's what I've seen reported.
I've heard various stories, and the one you mentioned has been discounted/retracted. For one, a weather man reported that there was NO lighting in the area.

I was just about to post the same thing. Instead of keeping quiet until the cause of the problems is discovered, both sides, Canada and the US, immediately start playing the blame-game and pointing fingers like a bunch of fiver year olds who broke a window playing baseball.
I mean, what the H - E - Double-Hockey Sticks?!? These guys should keep their traps shut and let their crews do their job to make sure it never happens again rather than bitching that it was anyone's fault but their own..

I think a gigantic electric eel sucked the power out of the system. The eel, product of Neil Borgjiengenson Jr., genetic labs in Berfort Alberta, Canada, and the deoxyribonucleic acid growth labs in Lambton New Jersey, was first introduced into the Massechussets sewer system by a combined S.A.S. and Delta task force. Funding initially appears to come from Swarberg and Associates out of Lisbon, Spain, but that company is really a tax-shelter for the parent company Silvan Investments--a division of the NuTech group out of Saipan. The same company, NuTech, that is, coincidentally listed in the Senate Committee's Review Of Foreign Insurgence as a probable partner in the Lavinski Cartel--famous for it's sabatouge of the Bulgarian Iron Workers Union formation in '78--the very same Union who toted as one of their political platforms to save the flower Unichius Tramaticus found only in the jungles of New Guinea. Unichius Tramaticus, a common enough looking plant, bearing close resemblance to the day-lilly, is thought to produce a potent anti-oxident compound xl32c. With modification, xl32c can be converted into a pro-oxidant compound, thus inducing cell mutation and, quickly enough, the formation of various types of cancer.
xl32cA, or Ca as it's referred to amongst the aborigines of Naoribi, was to be the new secret weapon, used primarily against used-spear salesmen trekking in from near by Calcutta (along the Tin-bah'ktan pass--famous for it's 'latrines with views'--small crevices wide enough to hunch over, and, while defecating, watch your movements fall to the villages far below).
In one of those villages a local inhabitant, named Jeffrey Nuk*toom* t'luck was struck dead by a particularly hard bowel movement. Jeffrey is rumored to be the illigitimate son of Jeffrey Barns, a man known for his exotic tastes in foreign women. The same Jeffrey Barns who owns a newspaper stand States side of the Peace Bridge. And the same Jeffrey Barns who, as a lark circled a stock in the Wall Street Week journal as a 'insider favourite, just 'eard about it this morning from some big business dudes' and sold the paper to a certain Mr. Finnigan--an Irish bathroom mat salesman just recently arrived to sell his new and exciting line of 'non-slip concrete fibre bath rugs'. That stock, 'Last Chance Gold', due to a potentially purposeful error in core-sample readings, was to sky-rocket that very same day.
Mr. Finnigan talked with Lola Camps on the plane to the U.S. Lola Camps is the daughter of Sheila Camps--a gentlewoman who, despite her amputeed legs, still plied the streets of Stock-holm as a successful 'Lady of the Red lights'. Sheila Camps had ....'given favours' just two weeks previous to a certain Mark Harris--a disgruntled worker at one of the New York Electric depots. Mr. Harris, an amateur spy enthusiast, had planted a remote-controlled cam on the dog of Roger Wiltkinsons--a Canadian bohemian who, by fortune of wealthy grand-parents, was spending his formative years travelling through the various red-light districts of Europe. He fancied himself a budding writer, and was 'working on a thesis' as he liked to tell the ladies. Unfortunately, Rogers dog, Muriell, broke from her tether and recorded in full color Mr. Harris recieving favours from Sheila Camps. The recordings were kept in Mr. Harris's lap-top. It wasn't until he arrived back in the States, got on-line and started to up-load the new vids to his 'Special Secrets of Europe ($19.99/mnth visa/mastercard) that he realized, too late, the vids were of him. In a panic, he initiallly tried to sever the cable-connections at America-cable, no mean feat considering he had to scale a 32' concrete structure, but was nearly apprehended by an off-duty Wal-mart security officer, and quickly raced away--right down the street into the Hydro compound where he spent some of his 'heavy work on the outter grids'--meaning he had a nice cozy place to snooze away work hours. It was there that he knew what he had to do. Without hesitation he reversed pollarity at the station, causing an immediate explosion in the high-tension wires above, but sending out a reverse-pollarity throughout the entire local-grid. A cascade effect occured and here we are today.
Now....possibly strange....but true, none-the-less. If not for the fact that Mr. Harris is actually from Pakistan and holds only temporary citizenship due to a foul-up, we could blame the Americans.

Okay, that was majorly creative Keek lol.
And everyone stop putting down NY >O Even if the people here only come together on occassions like this, atleast they come together and there AREN'T lootings, murders, crimes. It could be worse.

US investigations have shown the power outage was started in Ohio, and cascaded outward to the now-affected areas.
So, where can I deliver your humble-pie to? Or perhaps crow is more to your liking.........

Even if it were an EMP bomb, which even the american government is just now perfecting, an EMP blast is more akin to a static shock to a computers CPU, i.e. it completely fries it so it becomes unusable.
If an EMP bomb were set off in someplace like New York, they probably wouldn't get the power back on for months, and even then just about every electronic device in the city would be useless since they wouldn't run anyways.
