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.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

lisah, may you have twinnage fun!
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!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
...And power is lost at stepson's as well as tree on house. FUCK. They're ok, but FUCK.

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,

Oh, my god, that explosion was INSANE.
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.

I don't see any way that explosion happens without a lot of people hurt. I don't know what kind of staffing they run at under these circumstances, but I hope there was time to get out.

It's fucked up out there. And I am simply stunned to still have power. Hoping it lasts. Afraid to voice anything more. And I'm not normally superstitious.

Worried about my northeast friends and family.
My mom is staying next door to her house with my gram (in my old house in CT), and her brother is in town and stuck here, which is good. I feel much better that she has someone else with her in case anything happens to Gram. They lost power about eight hours ago, and shortly after, a big ol' tree fell across the dirt driveway and took out the above-ground power lines. If the power comes back on (unlikely, but still), they have a live line situation.
