Yep, it affected me and I live in Amherstburg, Ontario, about 30 mins from Detroit. Windsor still had no powere by 9:30 tonight, which is when we got ours back. Um, as far as I know, it should be coming back slowly for everyone.

as long as people don't start turning on everything in the house all over again...

Amherstburg... where is that exactly? My dad's from Toronto, and I'm originally from Detroit.

Well, when you come from Detroit to Windsor, the next town you hit, going north is Amherstburg. About 10-15 mins from Windsor.

Oh, yeah, there's a whole cluster of smaller towns around Windsor. I mostly know those that are on the train route from Windsor to Toronto. For obvious reasons.

So, did they riot in Windsor? *snickers*

Well, considering that the power keeps going off since all the morons STILL have their AC on, I guess we'll loose it for longer periods from now on.

TURN OFF THE AC IN THE HOUSE PEOPLE!!!

sorry for the yell

This has been declared a state of emergency and yet people aren't listening. Reduce the amount of hydro you use and do all that you can.
