I'm in Arizona, so we didn't feel the blackout, but about 5 minutes after the East Coast lost power, a couple city blocks in downtown Phoenix lost power as well... coincidence?
Also, this same week, a large pipeline that carries fuel for vehicles from Tucson in Southern Arizona to Phoenix broke. It's physical damage, and a lot of the line is going to have to be simply replaced... and now the stations that even HAVE fuel at all are charging us upwards of 33 cents more per gallon than the day before the problem started.
All these major utility problems in the same week? Coincidence?
I'm the bawss.

Yeah it does seem somewhat suspicious. I'm sure that the conspiracy theorists have all sorts of different takes on what might of really happened.
It's also funny how when it first began, both the Canadian and American governments started pointing fingers and really didn't seem to know what was going on. At least that's the impression they were giving through the media.
