Lots of good information here about Tesla. Nikola Tesla
designed the first hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls, New York
which started producing electrical power in 1895. This was the
beginning of the electrification of the United States and the rest of
the world. Today, Tesla's AC electricity is lighting and powering
the globe. Nikola Tesla is the genius who lit the world.

Tesla Monument at Goat Island, Niagara Falls, New York. Gift of
Yugoslavia to the United States, 1976.
Nikola Tesla designed the first hydro-electric power plant in Niagara
Falls. This was the final victory of Tesla's Alternating Current
over Edison's Direct Current. The monument was the work of Croatian
sculptor Frane Krsinic.

Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Power Stations
Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Power Stations are two hydroelectric power
stations in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. The stations divert water
from the Niagara and Welland Rivers above the falls which is then released
into the lower portion of the river, and together produce up to 1,600
MW.
Adam Beck I contains 10 generators and first produced power in 1922.
It was originally called the Queenston Chippawa power station and was
renamed after Adam Beck in 1950 on the twenty fifth anniversary of his
death. The water is diverted through the Chippawa-Queenston Power Canal
canal from the Welland River.
Adam Beck II contains 16 generators and first produced power in 1954.
The water is diverted from the Niagara River above the falls through
underground pipes. A reservoir was created that permits the holding
of water, diverted during the night, for use during the day. Adam Beck
II is currently undergoing major modification in the form of the Niagara
Tunnel Project in order to improve its generation output. This new tunnel
is expected to be in operation by late 2013.
The Northeast Blackout of 1965 was caused by a tripping transmission
line from Adam Beck II.

The Blizzard of 1977. Do you know where you were in Buffalo during that
time? I was at work. I stayed and slept at my desk that night. The police
were telling everyone to stay off the streets . Next day I risked it
and drove home in bad conditions. I was lucky . Here are some email
and you tubes that describe that time.
The Blizzard of 1977 was a deadly blizzard that hit upstate New York
and Southern Ontario from January 28 to February 1, 1977. Daily peak
wind gusts ranging from 46 to 69 mph (74 to 111 km/h) were recorded.
(National Weather Service Buffalo Office 2006a).
Weather conditions during the months prior to the blizzard allowed the
blizzard to have the impacts that it did. November's, December's and
January's average temperatures were below normal. Lake Erie froze over
by December 14; an ice-covered Lake Erie usually puts an end to lake-effect
snow because the wind can not pick up moisture from the lake's surface,
convert the moisture to snow and then dump it when the winds reach shore.
Lake Erie was covered by a deep, powdery snow; January's unusually cold
conditions limited the usual thawing and refreezing, so the snow on
the frozen lake remained powdery. The drifted snow on roadways was difficult
to clear because the strong wind packed the snow solidly, almost like
a form of cement. In addition to the roads becoming impassable, motorists
had to deal with vehicles breaking down.
In the hardest-struck areas, snowmobiles became the only viable method
of transportation. In Western New York and southern Ontario, snow which
was accumulated on frozen Lake Erie and snow on the ground at the start
of the blizzard provided ample material for the high winds to blow into
huge drifts. The combination of bitter cold, high winds, and blowing
snow paralyzed areas affected by the storm. Lake Ontario does not freeze
over, which meant that northern New York had to deal with considerable
lake-effect snow, which when coupled with the existing snow cover and
wind, created paralysis.

"HONEYMOON BRIDGE" COLLAPSES WITH LOSS OF MILLION DOLLARS. Niagara Falls,
N. Y., Jan. 28 -- (AP) -- An international crowd of several thousand
lined the lofty banks of Niagara Gorge today for a glimpse of twisted
steel and concrete on the icy carpet far below -- all that remained
of America's famous "Honeymoon Bridge." With a roar that drowned the
cataract's thunder, the towering structure succumbed late yesterday
to a 30-hour battering by the worst Niagara river ice jam in 30 years.
