Northeastern Power Outage

OK, so mother nature decided she was bored and decided to shake things up today in the New York area. The Niagra Falls power grid that supplies power to New York, Detroit, Cleveland, parts of Canada, etc. shut down this afternoon. It's been really hot there and an awful lot of people live in that area. Am I the only one who didn't automatically jump to the conclusion that it was a terrorist act? Nobody was negligent, these things happen from time to time. The story right now is that it was a result of a lightening strike.
