But has Las Vegas had a total power outage since 9/11? And wasn't Nevada somewhat tied into the California energy crisis a few years ago? Not to mention, Las Vegas is a podunk town compared to Toronto and New York. (No offense meant, just a comparison of size and people.)

It hasn't affected you, and it hasn't affected me either. But this would have grabbed my attention in any case b/c I know New York. I know what it's like on a normal workday. I know what it's like during the afternoon rush hour. And while things have apparently gone smoothly thus far, I can only imagine what it would be like to be stuck in Manhattan: trying to get off the island, unable to use the transportation systems I normally do, unable to take money out of the bank, etc.
