Out of morbid curiosity, did the blackout in NY state have any effect on nationals? (I see that the 400IM results are up, so they have power now.) Just curious.
According to what Dr. Phil Whitten posted to Swiminfo.com, the answer is, fortunately, 'no':
"THE lights flickered here this afternoon as much of the northeastern US and eastern Canada lost power in a massive blackout. Fortunately, the electricity stayed on and the second day of the USMS Long Course Nationals on the verdant campus of Rutgers University did not miss a beat. "
