It was so weird here yesterday. I work at a hospital, so when the lights went out, they went out for about a minute and then went back on again (due to the emergency generator). Parts of the hospital were without power but I guess I'm on the same generator as the patient beds/OR.
So I logged on to my usual haunts and it was so weird to see nobody else from NYC posting. For a while I felt like the only person from NY on the Internet.
The power remained on at the hospital and I stayed here until about 11 PM, until I went to sleep on a pull-out couch at the hotel across the street.
It was a little scary, but honestly, also kinda cool. How often do you look out across New York City and see darkness? I mean, you could see flickers of candles in random windows, but other than that, it was completely dark.
As far as I know, power is pretty much on its way to being restored in the NYC area. Power at my apartment in Queens was apparently out for approximately 13 hours. I wonder how much of my food is completely ruined....
Good luck everybody who's still waiting for power...of course, I guess if they're without power, they're not reading this, are they?
