1. Chicago just went down, too.

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. I am in Chicago

and the power is on.

[LastRobot]

2. I'm in NJ, just outside of NYC

We took a 5 second power hit when NYC went out (I was on the phone with friend who works at Viacom). Wow, this sucks.

[CO Liberal]

10. I Just Spoke to My Daughter in Wharton, NJ

About 50 miles west of Manhattan. She said her power went out for about a second, but came back on. But her cell phone is out.

3. If the building they're in........

.......and the telco office they're connected to has backup power generators........ maybe.

[piece sine]

4. Buffalo NY is in the dark

[Kathy in Cambridge]

[kmla]

7. I'm sure the Freepers will find some way...

...to connect this to Bill Clinton's naughty bits...

[donotpassgo]

20. ACCORDING TO THOSE ASSHOLES

It's all the environmentalist fault. F-k what the people are going through, it's the evil liberal gay lovers back east and they reap what they sow.

<<extreme sarcastic disgust off>>

[Paragon]

8. Cincinnati here

I'm microwaving a fish fillet as I type this. No problems...yet.

[TheBigGuy]

9. Im in Ohio..why should I be worried?

Yeah, its pretty conservative here...but folks are polite about it....

[tjdee]

15. Major power outage...most of the Northeast, apparently.n/t

[Bossy Monkey]

17. 'cause Cleveland's out, too, as is Detroit

[liberalnurse]

11. Just fine in Dayton, Ohio.

I just immensley enjoyed watching the Iowa Healthcare discussion by the dem candidates on C-Span.....It was easy for Dr. Dean....he was terrific. He communicated with straight informative talk....Folks we on the edge of their seats....wanting more.....

I was elated when he shared having Nurse Practitioners function without the oversight of a physician for Family Practice; mostly preventitive medicine and long term care.


Kucinich did not do well at all. He really did not understand the long term care question. Way off the target...not even a good guess.


I got to tape it!!!!!!

[tjdee]

12. New Jersey is back on for now!

So surprised to hear that it was all of us, so happy I wasn't on a subway...

THE LIGHTS BETTER STAY ON, DAMMIT!

[CO Liberal]

14. Are You Gonna Trust "Jersey Central Plunder and Loot"?

As I used to call JCP&L when I lived there......

:-)

[tjdee]

16. Got PSE&G, LOL.

I have a few friends up further in Jersey that are still in the dark though...

Maybe I should go out and get batteries, etc. NOW in case it goes back out?

[VermontDem2004]

13. Fox News will come after your website

A Fair and Balanced Political Report

[donotpassgo]

18. Anyone know what's going on with the subways?

Are they evacuating them?

[tjdee]

22. I don't see how they could.

I too would like to know what is going on with that... AFAIK, the news crews have been unable to get down there...

That would be horrible....just stuck there for hours...
*on edit*
On local NYC news they're now showing footage of people lining up, apparently evacuating. Hmm. Ah yes, they've all been evacuated, not a single injury. AWW YEAH, NYC!

[Amaya]

19. Hartford CT here

Power just came back on in my neighborhood. YAY! NYC is all fucked up!! <sending the good vibes to NYC> :hi:

[AlGore-08.com]

[youngred]

23. It isn't in the NY constitution

Neither of those states allow recalls of the Governor.

[SyracuseDemocrat]
