KathyK, blinking confusedly:

Other cities?  You mean there are places OUTSIDE New York City?  

Sorry for that.  I just couldn't help myself.  I live in 
Connecticut.  New York is a pretty important place to us here. :-)

Seriously, I did not watch the news for too long (after the first ten 
minutes it gets rather repetetive) but what I did see focused mostly 
on New York.  The camera shots did briefly change to show scenes from 
a couple different places.  Even when they were changing, though, the 
news people still talked about New York.  They even went to Hartford 
for a moment, but I didn't pay attention to anything said because I 
was too busy trying to see if I recognized the places in the shot.

So I guess I'm no real help since I live even closer to NYC than you 
do.

England, which was not affected by power outages.
