I know hospitals got back-up power, but some folk have at their own respirators or something like that at home.

It was great last night when they were showing helicopter shots of NYC in the dark.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Power Outages
 

All the hosptials are online, however, many are complaining that the backup generators are running out of fuel. Right now I just want my dad to get home. He's stuck in NY, I guess. He never made it home last night because even if he could have walked into NJ, we live majorly too far to get home without the trains running.
ohwell...

It was the longest 16 hours and 43 minutes of my life.

I feel sorry for the people who were trapped in the mines that long.

yippee!!! dad's home!! Now I'm just waiting for a few relitives to get back to me who live on Long Island, since the LIRR (Manhatten to LI) isnt' running

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Power Outages
 

Well I'm back home from staking out at a friends house. I live in NYC (Queens), I went on the roof of the houses and saw manhatten without any lights on and it's spooky as hell. Some people I knew were trapped on the subway systems. Now that has to suck

I just got my power back right now! It has been out since around 5 or 6 pm yesterday, until 11:30 today.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Power Outages
 

Well, I was gone while it happened and I just got back, but I heard about it on the radio. My area was affected too, but the power is back now.

LMAO

I couldnt help but laugh when I frist heard about this whole mess...the entire Northeast part of the country...COMPLETLY ****ED!!!

Did anybody see Conan last night? He actually did 15mins of a show with no power...it was freaking awsome...no audience, and everybody there wore their street clothes. Then he cut to a re-run.

Oh yea one other thing...I think its freaking halarious that Texas has their own power grid...Theres west...There's east...and there's Texas!!! ROFL.

yeah. that was a great episodeof Conan. I was hoping they'd do an entire episode.

Re: Power Outages
 

Quebec also has it's own power grid... and I really don't see whats so funny about a smaller area having it's own power grid.

It was a very fun 22 hours without power, no TV, no computer, no videogames, no cell phone for one reason or another. I had a blast... Gonna invest a lot into board games and playing cards now... =-D
