Where were you during the blackout of 2003?
It was a warm sunny day on Aug. 14, 2003, when around 4:10 p.m., power plants started to shut down from New York to Cleveland.
The widespread power outage cascaded across eight Northeastern and Midwestern states and the Canadian province of Ontario. Everything was put on hold for more than two days. Children ate all of the ice cream in the freezer, people slept in tents in their backyard since air conditioning and fans wouldn't work and trains and elevators stopped working.
