I'm just north of Toronto, Ontario and the Premier of the province called a state of emergency. I think only 50% of people have power right now and the rest should be up sometime today.

The news is asking that only essential services report to work since the subways, traffic lights, Go trains are not running.

Without electrical power, everyone was shown how vulnerable we are in the 21st century. No ATM's were working, no gas was being pumped at gas stations, some radio stations went off the air, cell phones didn't work, and all businesses completely shut down. All fast food places were bombarded with people trying to find food to take home for dinner, many had to be turned away because they ran out and had no power to cook more food.


Of course Nakita didn't notice. She still had her toys, litterbox, and food. I think cat's would survive an emergency better than humans!
