Dan,
I don't know of a website as such, but this might be of interest, both a map showing the sequence and a phone conference later this morning.
Regards

Subject: FW: Outage Sequence Map and Audio Conference on Blackout 2003
Hi Everyone:
Here's the best Sequence of Events info I've seen so far on the August 14 event. I sat down with Ata for 30 minutes today, and near as we can tell, this incident developed from almost 60 minutes of progressive weakening of the transmission path feeding Detroit-Toledo-Cleveland from the Southeast (probably by a combination of operator interventions and overload protections); followed by a mini-meltdown at 15:10-15:11 that took out three transmission lines and a coal unit near Cleveland and a Perry nuke unit East of Cleveland; followed by one more transmission circuit at 15:15, and then the Fermi plant near Detroit at 15:17, then cascading line outages from 15:17 to 15:21.

All we ask is that proper attribution be given to Electric Transmission Week and ENERmap. We are also conducting an audio conference this Thursday morning on the consequences of Blackout 2003.
