Very cool.  It almost makes DC and Baltimore look like they were affected, though I heard they were not.  Les I theorized that this entire blackout was orchestrated to shut your site down…NY, Ohio, and Canada where incidental and just distractions.  How do we know you weren’t taken to Guantanamo for “re-education”???  I’ll be carefully scrutinizing your posts for any evidence of your reprogramming by the nefarious minions of Bush!!

I can’t wait for Pat Robertson or his ilk to explain how this blackout was a sign from the almighty.  I’m sure they’ll blame god’s displeasure with the gay Episcopal bishop vote or the Minute Maid commercial with a “gay” Popeye and Brutus or something equally deranged.

This looks to be a somewhat bogus side-by-side - notice that Philly and Washington are also dimmer the next night, even though they were not affected by the blackout at all.

Try again boys, Snopes.com say’s they’re real. Though there is a fake photo going around (also at the above link).

The reason the cities look different is the effect of cloud cover that occured over DC and such later that evening.  It dims the reception of the satellite photo.

satellite photo is a fake.  It must have be a touched up photo that was taken on a clear night.  There were no optical-band satellites over the US that night.
