Yes. I was in my office in midtown. Power went out. We all starting
chatting / calling people. I turned on my Walkman. 1010 WINS announced
they were running on generators / backup power. Maybe ten minutes
later, they announced that the power was out in Toronto and Cleveland, too.
At that point, I knew it wasn't coming back any time soon, so made my
way home before it got dark.
I wish I had a digital camera with me. I remember walking over the 59th
St bridge, and people who walked on the upper level were climbing down
the trusswork to avoid the long ramps...
