Looking for a vacation trip?
Turn the kitchen oven up to about 450 or so and let it warm up.
Open the door, and stand in front of the heat.
Close your eyes tight so that you can't see anything
Welcome to New York.

Because of the current power failures in Canada and the Northeast U.S., the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a series of warnings and good advise on how to cope with the blackout: e.g.: Shut off your appliances, Run generators outside, Check your smoke detector batteries, etc.
And then they sent the message out on the internet.
