I expect Helen would be unable to get to any internet access for quite a while. probably true of Anna and Faldage, too. (this is the first thread I've read this evening, so if theyre here, ignore that)
the report I read mentioned something about a fire at a power station, ah, here it is:
from CNN:
A spokeswoman for Canada's Ministry of National Defense Thursday blamed the outages on a lightning strike in the Niagara region on the U.S. side of the border. "It caused a cascading power failure affecting 9,300 square miles," said navy Lt. Diane Grover.

The Niagara-Mohawk power grid supplies power to New York and stretches into Canada.

pretty crazy how dependent we are... good luck to anyone directly affected.
