That pic says it all. X

very cool, just missed me.

OK, that is stunning. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Think about it, it's probably the first time many of those people have really seen the night sky.

Alas, 'tis but a hoax... See Snopes...

heh, yes appears to be. But there are still VERY large completely black sections in the air force fotos... Those folks got to see the night sky as they never have.

Robby,

Where did you get that?

My wife forwarded it to me. But it definitely appears to be "doctored"...

I can see my house!

here's a better picture. Still a lot of dark...

I see I left my garage light on that night. Its the one just south of Green Bay.

So what really happened, did Gilligan stop peddling? LOL

This seems questionable to Me. The reason I say that is because here in Pa. there was no blackout yet this photo seems to have the entire state darkened. All around us yes, but not Pa.

I think you are right to have doubts. I live in Columbus, which is black also in this picture, but was completely unaffected. The closest was 60-70 miles to the north of here...
