Blackout? Regional recovery, conservation urged across states
Millions faced outages as VCR clocks reset and tap water boiled for safety. In Cleveland 50 National Guard members distributed 7600 gallons of water while Detroit residents were told to boil. A joint U S Canada task force was formed to prevent repeats and FERC’s Nora Mead Brownell called for grid improvements. Power was restored for 1.4 million Ohioans and 2.3 million Michigan customers, but rolling outages returned in parts of New York. Long Island Power Authority urged conservation and Syracuse resident Chris Bowen said the family would switch off the air conditioner tonight.
