As I recall, it was a very nice day...I was up flying just before the outage, because it was the first clear day in what seemed like weeks.

Be that as it may, I think someone needs to review his knowlege of US geography before he Photoshops. That patch of RGB(0,0,0) (the one that doesn't match any of the other dark areas in the image) blobbed out over a much bigger area than the blackout did.
