Just thought ya'all would like to see a satilite image of the us the night the lights went out in the northeast.

Thats funny.

Tim can ya post a photo of a normal night for compairson. As a side note I can pinpoint on the map the interstate that I drive on every day as it appears as a fairly bright line on the east coast about a 1/4" in from the costline.

Thanks for th eupdate tim. I thought it looked strange expecially since I know some NJ folks who said they did not lose power nor did those in the upper north east.

Either way I can still identify the area that the interstate I live and work off of.

I wasn't going to be rude and say anything, but you can definitely tell it's fake--a bad photoshop. The black over the northeast is blacker than all the other darkened landmass.

Here is some more info. scroll down to example line 5 and click actual satilite photographs.
