    probably brownout from a grid overload, too many people living in NJ and NYC, poor service from power companies. i know Delmarva Power sucks and charges out the ass

    a switching station blew in neptune and the overload shut 3 other stations down... took out most of monmouth and ocean and part off middlesex, hour and a half of gridlock in red bank no lights and no cops in middletown... pretty crazy stuff. When the switching station blew they said it shot a fire ball like 150 ft in the air and it rattled buildings half a mile away

    i was driving home on the parkway south, right past the pnc arts center around 5:30 and i saw big flashes of light then all the street lights went out and i knew the power was out, driving through lights and seeing how confused people were was hilarious, i've driven in other countries with no traffic rules before it was the same idea, u had to be aggressive and cautious in order to make it somewhere, i was the only one able to make a left at a really busy light, it was backed up so i decided to drive around the people and eased my way through and made it

    i was in the gym when it went out, and we were doin somethin called death by pushups. 5 or 10 minuits before the power went out my friend turned to me and said " Yo this sucks, we need a miracle to get out of this" I agreed, and a few minutes later, we got our miracle.:)

    Me and my homies looted a bunch of stores in Sea Bright. Cops were too busy directing traffic. Got all sorts of free merchandise! Christmas came early ;)
