finger-pointing between the two countries. Canadian officials initially said the
cause was a lightning strike on a power facility on the American side of Niagara

lightning explanation and pointed north.
"Our best understanding right now is that whatever did happen to start these
cascading outages began in Canada," said Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.

Later stories seem to indicate it may have started in Ohio, but they're still
