CNN reports Staten Island has power, as well as parts of Westchester and the Bronx, parts of west Brooklyn, and parts of Midtown.
Most of Northern NJ is reported to have power restored.
Eastern Ontario (Ottawa?) restored, parts of Toronto.
Much of upstate New York restored.
Still no power in most of Cleveland, Detroit, Lansing, Ann Arbor. Water restored, to limited degree, in Cleveland.
Anyone here in places where power was lost, but now restored? How has it been?

Just got out of bed a little while ago. Lansing Board of Water & Light, the main utility for the Lansing-East Lansing area, is reporting that power has been restored to their entire service area. But they're urging people to limit their air conditioning use and continue to conserve water to allow the reservoir to build back up.
Here in East Lansing the street lights came back at around 12:30am EDT and about an hour later service was at least restored to the area around where I live (about a mile north of campus).
Yesterday wasn't so bad. Fortunately Michigan State has its own power plant, so all the campus buildings were still up and running. I ended up spending a few hours at the library, staying cool, and checking email and surfing the Web (and Poly of course!  ).
Today's supposed to be just as hot as yesterday (upper 80s). It's already up to 82. Hopefully we don't end up in the dark again.

This is the difference between Americans and Canadians, and being different doesn't mean one is better than the other.
Canadians would say it is completely inexcusable to forcibly hang up a phone that someone else is using. It's just wrong. Americans take a more me, me, me attitude. I have to use the telephone and I have a god given right to use it right now so get out of the way.
Or put another way, can you imagine an American saying "We're being polite, this is the United States, you know."
I can't, well actually I can imagine an American saying it with the tone of voice that's say you goddamn *******, we're ****ing being polite, this is the United ****ing States and if you can't fucxing behave then go back to wherever you came from.

Cool down your holyness. Not every Canadian thinks like you do. And a lot of us would do the exact same thing under the same circumstances.
