No. And yes. It's always sudden.

I've consumed at least a bottle of white wine with neighbors. Still dripping inside, but ALL of our houses are, in that spot. I tried sweeping out the water and reseting the tarp, but no love.
Seems to be calming a bit, but I dunno. Clearly, still have power. But then, during Irene, it went out at 7 am under sunny skies.
lisah, may you have twinnage fun!

Gad, the Wind Map is freakin' mesmerizing right now. It looks like a Van Gogh. The eye is right over NJ. Must be getting creamed.

It's been good times. I tried to teach them how to play Scrabble, we read a little Lemony Snicket. Plus had delicious butternut squash/broccoli rabe lasagna made for us & cookie swap rehearsal cookie and lots of wine. And Archer. Hope everybody sleeps okay and that the power holds!

Oh man. NYU Tisch hospital lost power. They have to evacuate out all of the PICU/NICU kiddos. According to reports, nurses are bagging the ventilator patients by hand.
Can't even imagine,

Hundreds of gallons of mineral oil make a great torch. ConEd was trying to shut down power ahead of flooding, but there's just too much water, plus they'd try not to isolate critical loads like hospitals.
