NEW YORK (Aug. 14) - A huge power blackout hit U.S. and Canadian cities Thursday, driving workers in New York and Toronto into the streets, shutting subways in blistering heat and closing four nuclear power plants in Ohio and New York state.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said there was no evidence of terrorism as a cause. ''Probably a natural occurrence which disrupted the power system up there,'' he said, referring to a power grid based in the Niagara Falls area.
