Well, it hit the nation's largest city, a good swath of the US, the capital of Canada, and its largest city...all at the same time. Not to mention, there were no warnings of impending blackouts or brownouts in the US. And as far as New York--it's already been hit by 9/11, and was left a mess after the Blackout of '77. And it will be dark in just over an hour.
I don't know about you, but I'd say the story as a whole is a big deal.
