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.

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.

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...

Power was out for like 25 hours... i had a pretty good time but i had a CRAZY ass night yesterday I'll sum it up real fast

First hte power went out.. then my friend got into a fight with a 40 year old lady and i had to convince her not to call the cops on him cuz hes already on probation... then there was a fire in my building and an entire apartment was trashed and we were the first ones to call the police and report it.. then we went and climbed on other peoples balconys and one person woke up and she was naked nad got pissed off at us and almost called the cops...

We played chess and a buncha card games too lotsa fun

Could that be because NASA Mission Control is based there and they can't risk losing power?
