Where Were You When The Lights Went Out?

OK, in case you've just crawled out from under a rock, a lot of the northeast lost power today just after 4PM. We're being assured it wasn't terrorist related, although nobody has definitive information as to what caused it. What really gets me, though, is that there are already "experts" on the cable news networks blaming not enough regulation, not enough money for maintanence, in short, whatever they said was a problem before the blackout must be the cause and must be addressed, even though they haven't a clue at this point as to what actually occured. I guess that is why I'm not an expert - I like to have an idea of what happened before I pontificate on how to keep it from happening again.
