It will go on the same list as 9/11, the Kennedy assassination, etc.. For the people across the street from me it will be: felt sorry for the schmucks across the street If you are buying a home, go with the even side... not the odd one. | ||

I thought I was going to get electrocuted. It was scary. Luckily, I was able to free the cable (not with my hand, but with the motion of the car as I opened my door at the same time, phew -.-; ) Just for future reference, please don't open the car door if your car has a power line on it. You're safe inside the car as the power is routed around you to the ground. By opening the door you risk a discharge from your frame or from the wire itself, though the real danger is if you try to get out and the power can find a connection to the ground. If you can, get someone outside to help you. | ||

I'm in NY so it's a bit surreal that the crews working on my block were from Houston, Texas! | ||

Shit I lived in Florida and a Cat 3 barely made us change our plans or stock up on supplies. It's a glorified lightning/thunder storm. Why don't you come to hoboken and see what people were "freaking out about." Got power back last night. This storm did restore some of my faith in humanity though, the amount of people that volunteered their time to help those without power or food blew my mind. Hope everyone is ok.. | ||

He posted that before it hit the cold current coming down which caused a flux and massive increase into a hurricane. It was just a tropical or near tropical at the time  | ||

Very unsure of situations over there, how fast is the recovery; whether I should postpone my trip. =/ It'd be easier for you to let us know where you plan to go. I assume it's Manhattan, which is mostly untouched (except for the bottom tip). | ||

Ya manhattan, area around central park. Would really appreciate any info, I'm under the impression that it was barely hit and that alot of the recovery in the area are pretty well and fast. News on the web, go from okay to total chaos, hard to filter. | ||

Well my family has temporarily moved to an apartment in Queens. 90% of my neighborhood got power back 7 days ago, me and 5 houses are still waiting -- who knows how long it'll take? | ||
