just got a call from the city... they've asked us all to shut everything down and go home!
they just cut off the big citibank building in queens and sent them off, too!
aparently, long island city is in a critical spot on the power grid, and any falter could bring the whole city down!
i'll be picking up some flashlights and water on my way!

Toronto had a power outtage for a couple days few years ago. The novelty wore off fast.
Screw the water stock up on some beer.

I'm not worried.
I've got a few cases of power left over from the last black out.

I just checked 1010wins (NYC main news radio station) and they had nothing about this...
But I'll keep listening..maybe I'll have to pick up flashlights and water on the way home as well..

"Con Ed says most of the problems are in Queens and the Bronx, with a total of 2,000 customers across the city still without power."
Oh. I live in Manhattan. No worries then...looks like Queens is pwned.

Whenever we have power outages my parents think it's better for the entire family to sleep on one level. My mom's snoring was unbearable.
Never again.

Your family should have their own sitcom Jaline.
