That must have been a sight.

That's the part I'm having the most trouble imagining. I've known it *could* happen - even that eventually it certainly would - but that's not the same as seeing parts of Manhattan underwater. Not to mention all the other places.
> Some people here have power, a lot don't. The lines for gas are ridiculous. Mass transit in NYC is nowhere close to functional, tunnels have flooded, it's going to be a while!
> Cell service is spotty in the ny metro area. I still haven't heard from friends near the water. I just hope they weren't flooded.

Know that you have been missed here while you have had no power (and had way more important things to worry about).
