Yeah it seems like it was more about the timing of it all.

Lots of ovens were being used as opposed to microwaves, dishwashers were likely running at the highest levels of the day, and just the fact more people were at home and getting the furnaces/space heaters etc cranked up as well as TV's all on, led to the overload.

So, yes electricity gets wasted, but last night was all about the timing of the demand combined with unusual conditions. I would expect it to be similar this evening.
