Is fake.

Although the great blackout which struck the northeastern United States and Canada on the afternoon of 14 August 2003 and lasted well into the next day darkened many large North American cities (Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, Ottawa, New York), it didn't produce nearly as total a zone of blackness as depicted in the image shown above. Artificial light was still quite visible throughout many parts of the northeastern region.

Yes, swimmbadd, I suspected as much when I saw that photo about a month ago. I wanted to see the original and Googled geoostar and came up empty.

In the first image below I 'turned the lights back on. The other is Batdude playing with the midwestern grid.

I’ve thoroughly analyzed the situation. It appears the strange power fluctuations are originating from some place in Texas yet am unable to pin point the location. As of 0300 EDST field agents have been put on high alert in attempt to locate the perp.

Heh heh
