Yeah, I know I’m a week late on this, but I’ve been doing other stuff. Sorry.
Anyway, many news reports claimed that last week’s power blackout was the largest in history. But I have not found any figures to back up that claim.
On all the maps I’ve seen, it looks pretty similar to how I remember the 1965 blackout. Maybe they’re going by number of people affected, but that would beat out '65 pretty easily even with a smaller area because we have so many more people now.
So, does anyone know where I can find some comparative statistics?
